So I went down a rabbit hole last night and came across this old doc that supposedly came out after the KGB collapsed and some files ended up with the Central Intelligence Agency. The story is basically: Soviet soldiers are doing training in Siberia A low-flying saucer shows up Someone panics and launches a missile They actually hit it It crashes, and 5 small humanoid beings come out (big heads, black eyes — you know the type). Then it gets weird fast: Apparently the beings regroup, merge into a single sphere, it starts buzzing/hissing, then flashes super bright… and like 20+ soldiers who were watching supposedly got turned into stone instantly. Two guys survived because they were standing in the shade. The report claims the remains got taken to a secret research facility near Moscow, and scientists said some unknown energy basically converted their bodies into something like limestone. A CIA guy (allegedly) even described it as “a horrifying picture of revenge.” So I’m curious: Has anyone actually traced the real origin of this? Is there any version of this that doesn’t go back to a tabloid? Or is this just one of those stories that got dressed up with intelligence agency names over time? Not trying to prove it’s real, just trying to figure out if there’s anything underneath it or if it’s 100% recycled nonsense. submitted by /u/KindVibesOnly [link] [comments]
