A recently resurfaced CIA document has reignited fascination with UFOs after detailing a bizarre and deadly encounter between Soviet soldiers and a supposed extraterrestrial craft.
The one-page declassified report, now available on the CIA’s website, summarizes articles originally published in March 1993 by Canadian outlets Weekly World News and Holos Ukrainî. The reports recount a chilling incident in 1989 or 1990 during a military training exercise in Siberia.
According to the story — titled Cosmic Revenge in Ukrainian media and reportedly based on a 250-page KGB file — 25 Soviet soldiers witnessed a “saucer-shaped” object flying over their base.
For reasons unknown, the military fired a surface-to-air missile, successfully bringing down the craft. From the wreckage, five small humanoid beings with large heads and black eyes allegedly emerged, only to merge into a glowing spherical object.

The sphere reportedly emitted a powerful white flash that instantly petrified 23 soldiers into “pillars of limestone.” Two others, shielded by shade, survived. The remains were taken to a secret Red Army lab near Moscow, where investigators allegedly found their molecular structure altered to resemble limestone. The report speculates that the light was a form of energy unknown to current science.
“If the KGB file is true, this is an extremely threatening case,” an unnamed CIA analyst noted in the report. “The aliens possess weapons and technologies beyond all our assumptions. They can defend themselves if attacked.”
Not everyone is convinced. Former CIA operative Mike Baker dismissed the account as improbable. “It sounds like something from a bad 1950s sci-fi movie,” he told Fox News Digital. While Baker believes in the existence of alien life, he questioned the authenticity and timing of the story. “If something like this happened, I doubt we’d only be hearing about it now.”
Public interest in UFOs remains high. During his 2020 campaign, Donald Trump expressed skepticism about extraterrestrial life on Logan Paul’s podcast but later signed an executive order requiring the declassification of all UFO-related federal documents.
In a report released by the Pentagon in 2024, officials acknowledged receiving 757 UFO sightings between May 2023 and June 2024. While most were traced to balloons, birds, or satellites, a few incidents remain unexplained — including a near-collision between a commercial jet and a mysterious object off New York’s coast.
