Today in the Russian news:
Soviet soldiers died after encountering an alien UFO, according to a declassified document published on the CIA website, reports Fox News.
The document states that Soviet soldiers allegedly shot down a UFO flying over a military base. It is reported that alien humanoids emerged from the wreckage, merged into a single entity, and emitted a bright flash of light, turning all 23 Soviet soldiers, except for two, into stone.
"If the KGB dossier is authentic, this is an extremely threatening case. The aliens possess weapons and technologies that surpass all our assumptions. They can defend themselves if attacked," an unnamed CIA representative is quoted as saying in the report.
According to estimates by Canadian Weekly World News, the alleged incident occurred between 1989 and 1990 and was first published in 1993.
The document states that information obtained by U.S. intelligence included reports of a "low-flying, saucer-shaped spacecraft" over a Soviet unit participating in military exercises.
Officials wrote that "for unknown reasons," the soldiers launched a surface-to-air missile at the unidentified aircraft, causing it to crash near the military base.
The report describes how "five short humanoids with 'large heads and large black eyes'" emerged from the crashed spacecraft and merged into a single "unified entity," emitting a loud buzzing sound. It is reported that the spherical object then emitted a blindingly bright flash of light. Two men reportedly survived the encounter because they were standing in the shadows and were not fully exposed to the flash of light.
