All-Belarusian annual field meetings are held jointly by Kosmopoisk and UfoCom in places statewide that are considered the most notable and attractive from a researcher point of view. The coordinator of UfoCom also serves as the coordinator for the Belarusian regional branch of Kosmopoisk Unity (Kosmopoisk-Belarus). Since 2006, the UfoCom coordinator is Ilya Butov. ==Orthodox Church relations== In 2005, UfoCom was included on the list of destructive religious organizations of Belarus due to a series of unfriendly articles towards the church, published by UfoCom's previous leader, Ruslan Linnik. The problem was eventually solved with Linnik's withdrawal from UfoCom activities in 2006. ==Cooperation and partnership== ===Joint research activities=== UfoCom widely participates and supports various networked (mostly Kosmopoisk-based) initiatives in Belarus: ===Media coverage=== UfoCom collects and makes available for research a library of various literature devoted to anomalous phenomena, including rare items. For promoting research and their results, a periodical newspaper, Anatomy of Phenomena, is published on a non-commercial basis. ==Notable studies and expeditions== ===Field work=== Investigation and excavation of Stolbtsovsky meteorite impact site Discovery of a previously unknown Adolf Hitler command bunker in Belarus Study of Kupa archaeological site, which is supposed to be a 'Belarusian Stonehenge' Investigation of snow crop circle site ===Investigations=== ==See also== List of UFO organizations Kosmopoisk
