A newly viral CIA file from the Cold War era details a chilling alleged encounter between Soviet soldiers and a UFO, with claims that the UFO’s occupants turned the troops to stone before fleeing the scene.
After the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991, the CIA obtained a 250-page KGB dossier describing an incident in Ukraine where a military platoon fired on a UFO.
The dossier, complete with eyewitness testimonies and images, was called “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze” by a U.S. agent.
According to the report, Soviet troops on a training mission in Ukraine observed a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” overhead.
One soldier fired a surface-to-air missile, hitting the UFO and causing it to crash nearby.
The report states, “It fell to Earth not far away, and five short humanoids with ‘large heads and large black eyes’ emerged from it.”
The beings, after exiting their wrecked craft, reportedly “merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape,” as recounted by surviving soldiers.
The dossier continues, “In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into… stone poles.”
It notes, “Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived.”
The KGB is said to have secured the “petrified soldiers” and the UFO wreckage, moving them to a covert facility near Moscow.
Soviet researchers reportedly discovered that the light from the explosion converted the soldiers’ cells into a limestone-like material.
The CIA’s analysis warned, “If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The Aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions.”
It added, “They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”
Declassified in 2000, the document was first reported by Canada’s Weekly World News and Ukraine’s Holos Ukrayiny. It has since captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts and was discussed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2024.
Interest in Unidentified Aerial Phenomena has surged since the Pentagon launched the UAP Task Force in 2020, releasing numerous files to “detect, analyze and catalog” such mysterious objects.
