Following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, the CIA came into possession of a 250-page KGB dossier detailing an extraordinary incident involving a Soviet military unit and a UFO over Ukraine. The report included purported photographs, sketches, and eyewitness accounts of the confrontation. One CIA agent reportedly characterised the account as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures.”

A declassified
CIA document from the Cold War era has gained renewed attention for detailing a bizarre and chilling account of a deadly encounter between Soviet troops and extra-terrestrials in Ukraine.
The file, reportedly based on a 250-page KGB report, claims that a group of Soviet soldiers fired on a UFO, prompting a response that left 23 of them turned into stone.
According to the account, after the USSR’s collapse in 1991, the CIA obtained the KGB dossier, which included photographs, drawings, and witness testimonies. The report recounts that during a routine military training exercise, a saucer-shaped UFO appeared overhead. One of the soldiers launched a missile at the craft, causing it to crash nearby. Out of the wreckage, five humanoid beings with large heads and black eyes allegedly emerged.
Two soldiers who survived said the aliens merged into a single glowing sphere that emitted a piercing hiss before exploding in a blinding flash. This flash reportedly petrified 23 troops on the spot, while the two survivors remained shielded in the shadows.
The report claims the remains of the UFO and the petrified soldiers were taken to a top-secret research facility near Moscow. KGB scientists allegedly concluded that the victims’ bodies had undergone a molecular transformation, becoming indistinguishable from limestone.
“If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case,” the CIA memo concluded. “The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”
Though declassified in 2000, the document continues to fuel debate among UFO researchers. It was previously covered by Canadian tabloid Weekly World News and Ukraine’s Holos Ukrayiny and resurfaced recently through discussions on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” as reported by the New York Post.
