The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency of the United States) declassified a mysterious document that reports an alleged encounter between Soviet military personnel and extraterrestrial beings in the Siberian region, in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
The material, which includes photographs, drawings, and testimonies, was obtained after the dissolution of the KGB, the Soviet secret service, by then USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991.
According to the report, Soviet soldiers allegedly shot down an unidentified flying object (UFO), from which emerged five short humanoid beings with large heads and eyes.
The document states that the aliens merged into a bright sphere that emitted an intense burst of energy, turning 23 soldiers present into stone. Only two allegedly survived, having been partially shielded from the light at the moment of the explosion.
Petrified bodies and alien craft taken to secret facility
According to the report, the petrified bodies and the remains of the craft were taken to a secret research facility near Moscow. Scientists reportedly concluded that the soldiers’ molecular structure had been altered to resemble limestone. The source of the energy responsible for the transformation remains unknown.
“If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely threatening case. The aliens would possess weapons and technology beyond all our assumptions. They could defend themselves if attacked,” the report states.
Skepticism and mystery
The incident allegedly took place between 1989 and 1990, but the document was only declassified in 2000 and is part of a dossier of about 250 pages, the original context of which remains unclear. According to Fox News, the file may have originated from a telegram or another form of open-source intelligence.
Mike Baker, a former CIA agent, expressed skepticism about the content: “If there was indeed an incident, I suspect the real report looks nothing like what is circulating today, after five, six, or seven iterations of what was originally written,” he said.
