A declassified Cold War-era file from the CIA has gone viral over its coverage of a supposed clash between Soviet soldiers and a UFO, passengers of which reportedly turned the troops to stone before blasting off.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the CIA acquired a 250-page KGB report recounting the events that transpired after a platoon fired at a flying saucer over Ukraine.
The report included eyewitness accounts and pictures of the aftermath, which one American agent described as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.”

I have followed this subject for decades.
This is a “one of a kind” case—which means it is almost certainly Soviet disinformation.
I thought that Helen Thomas had died.
The CIA is the outfit that invented the phrase ‘conspiracy theorist’ so beloved of Freepers.
Nope, just went home.
Technically the term “conspiracy theory” goes back centuries.
The CIA weaponized it.
Well, they can’t even keep their story straight at the NYPost. Maybe they should hire someone who can read English.
The story says Ukraine, but the attached memo says Siberia. Not even on the same continent.
Somebody beat me to it.
Notify me when they come up with some rock hard evidence.
And these people are our masters now.
Don’t blame them. Blame the alien’s geographic confusion ray.
Boris and Ivan got to work one morning and said “What’s the most stupidly outrageous story involving aliens we could feed those gullible Americans?”
So we got this.
Yup—who said the Soviets did not have a sense of humor.
Lol.
That CIA thing about inventing the term conspiracy theory is wrong (a conspiracy??).
My daughter told me that and it didn’t sound correct. So I did a search. Most internet searches come up with an article from 1863 using the first recorded use of the term with regards to British elites supporting the South during the Civil War.
I would have thought it would have been even earlier - from say Roman times and Nero, etc.
Just like E.T.
Muh Russia is back. Did any of those aliens have red hair and a cabbage ear?
I think I saw this same incident in a Disney Uncle Scrooge comic book in the 1980s. Seriously! I think I have it somewhere.
But I would like to see the “250 page report”, to which there was conveniently no link.
OK. Produce the stone men and allow researchers to examine them.
