Combating Fatigue in Crewmembers (Soviet Aeromedical Report)
This is a two-page CIA Domestic Collection Division Foreign Intelligence Information Report (No. 00-B-321/33474-76, dated 16 November 1976) on Soviet Aeroflot aerospace-medicine practices: crew fatigue management, physical conditioning, drug use, aircraft-noise biology, radiation research, and pilot psychomotor testing. Its inclusion in a UAP release appears to rest on a single tangential detail, not on any unidentified-object report.
Key excerpts
“Dr [fnu] Georgiyevich Akoyev, a noted radiation biologist explained cosmic ray particles (phosphenes) which are causing Aeroflot pilots to "see" flashes of light during night flying. (p. 1)”
Alternative hypotheses
