On April 19, 1991, the Soviet news agency TASS reported a UFO sighting in Alma-Ata, the capital of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. According to the report, which cited the local newspaper Vechernya Alma-Ata, militiamen on patrol observed a flaming object at the top of the Kok-Tyube mountain, a popular recreation area. The witnesses, including the driver of a patrol car, approached the object. When they were approximately 200 meters away, the hovering object emitted an array of red rays. These rays swept across the patrol car, causing it to stop dead. The object then dimmed its 'searchlights' and disappeared. Upon returning to their police station, the patrolmen reported that they were unable to recall the journey back from the mountain, noting that their memory of that passage had been completely obliterated. The report concludes by stating that radio communications regarding the object were recorded on tape and that there were impartial witnesses to the event.
