 //((BY TASS CORRESPONDENT VERONIKA ROMANENKOVA))
 ((TEXT)) MOSCOW SEPTEMBER .4 TASS -- UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
 AND POLTERGEISTS, THE BERMUDA -RIANGLE AND THE SNOWMAN WILL BE
 TOPICS OF A NEW BULLETIN "ANOMA'.Y" PUBLISHED BY TASS AND THE
 "ECOLOGY OF THE UNKNOWN" ASSOCIA"ION.  THEY WILL ALSO BE TREATED IN
 THE ALMANACH "WE AND UFOS", PUT AlOUT BY THE SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION
 FIRM "COMPASS-S".  THE PRESENTATICV OF THESE PUBLICATIONS TOOK PLACE
 HERE TODAY.
 "THE IDEA OF PUBLISHING 'ANOMALY' AROSE WHEN PUBLIC INTEREST IN
 SEVERAL PHENOMENA, WHICH ACADEMIC SCIENCE DISMISSED AS SOMETHING
 'DEVILISH', BORNE OF SOMEBODY'S EA?LAMED IMAGINATION, WAS AT ITS
 HEIGHT," THE BULLETIN'S E.IITOR, CH.'EF OF TASS PRESS BUREAU SERGEY
 BULANTSEV SAID.  "THESE PHENOMENA A`E NOT ANOMALIES, BECAUSE THEY
 OCCUR EVERYWHERE AND RATHER FREQUENT,Y.  THE WORD 'ANOMALY' REFLECTS
 C00121401
 PAGE:0004
 NOT THE ESSENCE OF A PHENOMENA THAT STRIKES OUT IMAGINATION, BUT OUR
 ATTITUDE TO IT."
 THE BULLETIN WILL PUBLISH MANY HYPOTHESES, SOME QUITE
 EXTRAVAGANT, EXPLAINING MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA.
 THE ALMANACH "WE AND UFOS" WILL EXAMINE MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA
 THROUGH THE PRISM OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH DUE ACCOUNT FOR
 STEREOTYPE' THINKING.  ITS AUTHORS WILL INCLUDE PROMINENT SOVIET AND
 FOREIGN SCIENTISTS.   BOTH PUBLICATIONS WILL BE ILLUSTRATED WITH
 UNIQUE PHOTOS.
 "ONE MUST NOT BELIEVE OR REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN UFOS," BULANTSEV
 RECOMENDS HIS READERS.  "IT IS NECESSARY TO STUDY THE FACTS THAT MAY
 HELP AN HONEST SCHOLAR GET AN INSIGHT INTO SOME YET UNKNOWN DOMAINS.
 THEN A DESIRE WILL ARISE TO UNRAVEL DIFFICULT, BUT EXTREMELY
 FASCINATING PHENOMENA".
