PAPER REPORTS ALLEGED EVIDENCE ON MISHAP INVOLVING UFO

This document is an FBIS report dated March 27, 1993, summarizing a story published in the newspaper Ternopil Vechirniy, which itself cites a Canadian publication. The report details the existence of a purported KGB top-secret file, allegedly obtained after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union. According to the report, U.S. intelligence acquired a 250-page file concerning a UFO incident in Siberia. The file reportedly contains photographs, drawings, and testimonies regarding a saucer-shaped craft that appeared over a military unit. The document claims that the military unit launched a surface-to-air missile, striking the craft. Following the impact, five short humanoids with large heads and black eyes emerged. Two surviving soldiers testified that the aliens merged into a single spherical object that began to hiss and emit a bright light. This light reportedly caused 23 soldiers who were observing the event to turn into stone poles. The report further states that the remains of the craft and the petrified soldiers were transferred to a secret scientific research institution near Moscow. Specialists allegedly found that the molecular composition of the soldiers had been transformed into a substance similar to limestone. A CIA representative is quoted as describing the incident as a 'horrific picture of revenge' and noting that the aliens possess technology that exceeds human assumptions.
