About

During the Cold War, a Soviet engineer was tasked with an extraordinary mission: to reverse-engineer and uncover the secrets of a real UFO. His translated private notes, now revealed for the first time, provide a detailed account of the reverse-engineering process, offering groundbreaking insights into interstellar propulsion, time manipulation, and gravitational secrets.

Weeks before his passing in 2019, Valerijs Černohajev sent a mysterious series of documents to his daughter, Natalja, an international opera singer. She only began to explore the documents after his death. What she discovered sparked a four-year journey with her husband and a friend to translate her father's work and unlock its extraordinary revelations, which are shared plainly in this book.

    Valerijs Cernohajev (1958-2019)

    Valerijs was a Soviet-era engineer whose life and work remained largely shrouded in mystery. Born in Guryev, Kazakhstan, he graduated from the prestigious Riga Civil Aviation Engineers Institute in the USSR. He worked at Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome. though the nature of his work there remained unknown even to his family.

    Following the Soviet Union's collapse, he became increasingly reclusive and estranged from family. In his final days before succumbing to liver failure in 2019, he unexpectedly passed on a collection of documents to his only child, Natalja, suggesting they might interest his grandson who shared his passion for aerospace engineering.

    These documents, which Natalja would not rediscover until shortly after his death, form the foundation of Engineering Infinity; offering a glimpse into the brilliant mind of an enigmatic scientist.

    Natalja Cernohajeva-Sticco, M.Eng.

    Natalja, daughter of Valerijs Cernohajev, was born in Riga, Latvia during the USSR occupation. A distinguished operatic mezzo-soprano. she performed with the Latvian National Opera & Ballet for seven seasons before immigrating to the United States in 2018.

    Beyond her artistic career. she holds degrees in both music and technology. including a Master's in Engineering focusing on Al and Robotics. A polyglot fluent in four languages, she works as a technical writer for companies like Amazon Robotics and American Express while continuing to perform internationally. Her unique blend of artistic excellence and technical expertise positions her perfectly to help bring her father's scientific work to a broader audience.

FAQs

Updated June 18, 2025

  • We removed all social media accounts for Engineering Infinity on June 18, 2025.

    We realized the effort to generate content outweighed the value it returned. The community we hoped to reach often seemed more drawn to spectacle than substance—sensationalism over science.

    But that’s not why we’re here.

    We didn’t start this for clicks or celebrity—we started it to share something we believe is important. And that kind of work isn’t built through social media engagement. It’s built through focused research, thoughtful analysis, and time spent with real evidence.

    That’s why we’re putting our energy right here—into this website and our White Tie Division community.

  • Engineering Infinity is a curated translation of Cold War–era documents left behind by Valerijs Černohajev, a Soviet aerospace engineer. We published them to preserve this legacy and invite further exploration.

  • Valerijs Černohajev was a Soviet-trained aerospace engineer who worked in Kazakhstan during the Cold War, likely in or near government-controlled research zones. He was a highly intelligent man, deeply loyal to the Soviet Union even after its collapse, and disillusioned by the instability and economic hardship that followed.

    These documents may reflect the life work of a brilliant but forgotten mind—someone who never gave up on the dream of Soviet scientific dominance, even when the system itself collapsed

  • They were sent by Černohajev to his daughter, Natalja, just before his death in 2019. Discovered shortly afterward, they were translated and analyzed over the following four years.

  • Several factors suggest a connection to serious research and hallmarks that they were produced within a structured classification system used by the USSR. These include the technical structure of the material (including colored paper classification systems), the use of Soviet-era scientific conventions, detailed engineering schematics based on observation, and references to advanced propulsion systems.

    Černohajev's background as an aerospace engineer working in Kazakhstan— home to major Soviet aerospace and defense facilities, reports from family about his career which mirror someone working in highly sensitive government projects, and connections to senior USSR and Russian government officials, further supports this likelihood.

  • We consider this a living document. The translations were created using a blend of AI tools, human review/translation, and contextual research. While they reflect the original wording as accurately as possible, some terms are technically ambiguous or evolving. A revised edition is already underway to improve clarity and expand technical annotations as better information develops.

    We recognize that certain phrases may require further clarification or refinement — particularly where meaning depends on broader engineering or physical frameworks not immediately apparent in isolated passages. Our goal is to improve semantic precision and ensure the clearest possible interpretation in those cases.

  • The translation team includes Natalja Černohajeva-Sticco (M.Eng.), who as a native Russian-speaker reviewed AI output for fidelity; Mario Fialho, who built the translation model; and Gene Sticco, a retired USAF intelligence professional who led verification and overall contextual research.

  • This edition is a public translation and curation of original documents, not a peer-reviewed scientific paper. There is no indication in the notes we possess of peer review at the time. Researchers are invited to engage with the material and conduct independent evaluations.

    Our research indicates that “Peer Review” in the USSR was different from today’s standard practices and usually limited to reviews by superiors within the organization.

  • We’re presenting the work as-is, with transparency. It includes propulsion concepts and models that align with UFO-related descriptions, and schematic titles that are labeled as “The UFO.” The reader is encouraged to assess the material critically.

  • It’s both. The book functions as a preservation of a lost Cold War–era technical voice, while also presenting ideas that intersect with modern scientific inquiry. It is offered as a historical artifact with potential scientific value—not a finished theory.

  • Think of it as a technical time capsule. We invite curiosity, scrutiny, and collaboration, not blind belief.

  • Absolutely! We welcome thoughtful input from physicists, linguists, historians, engineers, and researchers.

    Please email contact@engineeringinfinitybook.com if you'd like to get involved.

  • Yes! Future editions will be edited to include improved translations, expanded commentary, and integration of feedback from readers and technical advisors, along with advances in science.
