Declassified Cold War-era CIA files detail Soviet clash with aliens who witnesses say turned soldiers to stone
Briefly

A recently declassified CIA document based on a KGB report details an alleged encounter between Soviet soldiers and a UFO during a training exercise in Ukraine. Soldiers claimed to have seen a low-flying saucer, which was subsequently shot down by surface-to-air missile. Survivors recounted that five humanoids emerged, merging into a spherical object that exploded with a bright light, turning 23 soldiers to stone. The KGB reportedly took control of both the petrified soldiers and the UFO, escalating intrigue surrounding Cold War-era extraterrestrial encounters.
One American agent described the aftermath of the encounter as 'a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one's blood freeze.'
The KGB allegedly took custody of the 'petrified soldiers' and the ruined spacecraft, which were transported to a secret base near Moscow.
