5 Microbiologists                                                                   October 4, 2001

A commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an 

"errant" Ukrainian surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course. 

Despite early news stories reporting it as a charter, the flight, Air Sibir 1812, was a regularly scheduled

flight.



According to several press reports, including a Dec. 5 article by Barry Chamish and one on Jan. 13 by 

Jim Rarey (both available at www.rense.com), the plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many

as five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge

microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 

research facilities and 13 full universities for a 

population of only 2.5 million people.
