Viral CIA Document Details Alleged 1990 Alien Attack on Soviet Soldiers

A recently declassified CIA document detailing an alleged UFO attack on Soviet soldiers during a military exercise in the late 1980s has gained significant attention online. The report, which summarizes prior accounts from Canadian and Ukrainian sources, claims that Soviet troops shot down a low-flying UFO, leading to an encounter where extraterrestrial beings emerged and reportedly turned 23 soldiers into stone with a burst of light. Eyewitness accounts describe five humanoids with large heads merging into a single entity before the explosion occurred, leaving only two soldiers unharmed due to their position in the shade. The KGB originally compiled a more extensive 250-page report, which the CIA obtained after the Soviet Union's collapse, and analysts noted the advanced technology possessed by the aliens, if the accounts are accurate. While some experts find the claims dubious, others speculate on the potential implications of such incidents in the context of ongoing UFO investigations. This renewed interest follows previous calls for transparency regarding government-held UFO-related documents.
