A Declassified CIA Briefing Claims Russian Soldiers Were Turned To Stone By Aliens After They Shot Down Their UFO In 1990
Yahoo News - A declassified CIA report about an alleged UFO attack on Soviet soldiers in the dying days of the USSR has gone viral after being posted to the agency’s website.
The document is a single-page summary of newspaper articles from Canadian Weekly World News and the Ukrainian paper Holos Ukrayiny dating back to March 1993, which describe a hostile encounter between the Russian Army and a flying saucer that is said to have taken place in 1989 or 1990.
The story – headlined “Cosmic Revenge” in the Ukrainian source and said to derive from an extensive 250-page KGB file, complete with witness testimony and documentary photographs – recounts how 25 Soviet troops were participating in training drills when a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” passed over their base in Siberia.
The sighting prompted the men to react “for unknown reasons” by launching a surface-to-air missile at the craft, which they successfully brought down.
“Five short humanoids with ‘large heads and large black eyes’” emerged from the wreckage, the file reports, before fusing together into a “single object”: a spherical shape that emitted a sinister buzzing sound.
The sphere then burst in an explosion of brilliant white light, leaving 23 of the men “turned into stone poles” while the remaining two, shielded from the blast by virtue of being stood in the shade, escaped unharmed.
The bodies of the victims were reportedly recovered by the Red Army and taken to a secret research laboratory outside Moscow, where it was discovered their molecular structure was now identical to that of limestone, with the light that petrified them attributed to a “source of energy” not currently known to humanity.
The CIA's dropped another gem on us, and this one is about as wild as it gets. Soviet soldiers, allegedly turned into stone by an alien UFO encounter back in the late '80s or early '90s. This sounds like a bad B-movie plot. This is supposedly real, according to some declassified CIA document that’s recently gone viral.
A UFO, (flying saucer-shaped of course), allegedly flew over a Soviet military unit in Siberia. Some genius on the ground decided that firing a surface-to-air missile at it was the way to go (because you always shoot first and ask questions later when dealing with UFOs, right?).
Then, boom, the UFO crashes, aliens emerged, and they merged into a glowing, spherical object that exploded in a flash of light.
The result? 23 Soviet soldiers were turned into stone, and only two made it out because they were, conveniently, standing in the shade. The KGB swooped in, picks up the petrified remains, and sent them off to some top-secret lab.
The craziest part of this story might be that when they tested the pillars of stone, the rock was identical to limestone.
How and why is this juicy tidbit of alien intrigue just now surfacing?
Yah, it was declassified years ago, but the timing of this release is a bit too perfect for my liking. Jerry, who's been deep-diving into all these recent CIA document dumps lately, is right when he says that it’s a strange coincidence that so many of these old files are going viral, one after another recently. How many of these have been hidden for decades, and now, all of a sudden, we’re getting hit with them. Things that make you go hmmm.
Former CIA agent Mike Baker, a guy who’s probably seen more than a few sketchy documents in his time, basically called the whole thing bullshit.
He’s skeptical about the story, and who can blame him? This thing reads like it’s straight out of a Twilight Zone episode, except with better technology.
Maybe this isn’t about aliens. Maybe it’s just another piece of a much larger narrative that’s being spoon-fed to us at just the right moment. If the government really wanted to "expose" something, maybe they’d give us more than just some juicy story about soldiers being turned into statues, along with the occasional blurry video.

There’s no way this UFO file, like all the other ones, hasn’t been sitting around in a dusty vault for years, just waiting for its moment in the sun. So why now?
