Declassified CIA Document Details Alleged Alien Attack on Soviet Military Unit
A recently declassified Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) document has brought to light a chilling account of an alleged extraterrestrial encounter in Siberia decades ago. The report suggests a unidentified flying object (UFO) was shot down by Soviet forces, leading to a purported massacre where an entire military detachment was turned to stone.
Siberian UFO Incident: Troops Petrified, Claims Report
The declassified file, summarized from a 250-page top-secret dossier, details an incident that reportedly occurred approximately 35 years prior to its declassification. According to the document, Soviet troops downed a mysterious aircraft hovering over their Siberian base. Eyewitness testimonies cited in the report describe a terrifying sequence of events.
Extraterrestrial Retaliation: Five Aliens Transform and Attack
The CIA document claims that after the UFO crash, five beings emerged from the wreckage. These beings reportedly merged into a single entity before emitting a powerful burst of energy. This energy surge purportedly resulted in the petrification of 23 Soviet soldiers who were present at the scene.
According to a CIA official cited in the report, the incident was described as a ‘horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures.’ The agency further noted that this ‘extremely menacing case’ indicated that visiting extraterrestrials possessed weaponry and technology significantly more advanced than previously understood by the US government, implying prior awareness of alien existence.
Survivors and Aftermath: Secret Research Base
The declassified document, which dates back to 2000, gained renewed attention during a recent episode of the “AI or Evil” podcast, hosted by Josh Hooper. The podcast revealed that while 23 soldiers were allegedly petrified, two others at the UFO crash site survived the encounter.
The remains of the 23 soldiers, along with debris from the downed spacecraft, were reportedly relocated to a clandestine research facility near Moscow for further investigation.
Decades-Long Description of Alleged Alien Beings
Intriguingly, the CIA file suggests that the description of the alleged extraterrestrial beings involved in this incident aligns with descriptions found in UFO reports and sighting accounts spanning nearly eight decades.

During a training mission in Siberia, the Soviet military reportedly shot down a low-flying UFO carrying at least 5 aliens who then turned the soldiers into stone
‘Mishap Involving UFO’: Subject of Declassified Paper
The declassified paper is titled: ‘Paper reports alleged evidence on mishap involving UFO,’ indicating the document’s focus on this extraordinary event.
This unusual narrative was also reportedly published in the Ukrainian newspaper Holos Ukrayiny on March 27, 1993, suggesting wider awareness beyond intelligence circles.
A Canadian newspaper speculated that the incident occurred between 1989 and 1990. The CIA reportedly uncovered this information after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the subsequent access to archives of the KGB, the former Soviet secret police.
Details of the Encounter: Missile Strike and Alien Transformation
According to the CIA document, the alleged alien craft was observed flying at low altitude and with minimal noise above the Soviet military unit while they were conducting a training exercise.
For ‘unknown reasons,’ Soviet forces reportedly launched a surface-to-air missile at the UFO, causing it to crash near the unit’s location, according to official accounts.
The two surviving soldiers recounted that as their comrades approached the downed craft, five aliens extricated themselves from the wreckage and gathered together near the site.
Shortly after, these alien beings reportedly ‘merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape’. In essence, they transformed into a large, ball-like form.
This spherical entity then emitted a buzzing and hissing sound, followed by an intense burst of white light.
The description from the CIA report matches the decades-long description of an alleged race of beings UFO researchers call ‘the Greys’
Transformation into Stone: Limestone-like Substance
As the soldiers watched, the ball of light detonated in a powerful energy surge, instantaneously transforming 23 of the 25 Soviet personnel into ‘stone poles’.
The report indicated that the two survivors escaped petrification due to their position in a shaded area during the alien energy discharge.
Analysis of the petrified soldiers’ remains revealed that the alien energy blast had converted living tissue into a material closely resembling limestone.
The CIA document concluded that ‘a source of energy that is still unknown to Earthlings’ was responsible for the fatal transformation of the Soviet soldiers.
Even in 2025, modern science struggles to fully explain such a phenomenon from a medical and technological perspective.
The Journal of Applied Physics suggests the theoretical possibility of using high-energy radiation or electromagnetic pulses to convert matter into plasma – a state distinct from liquid, solid, or gas. However, this is different from turning tissue into limestone.
‘Greys’ Description: Classic Alien Image
According to the report, the CIA described the aliens as diminutive humanoids with ‘large heads and large black eyes.’
This description is consistent with the characteristics attributed to a race known as ‘the Greys’ within UFO research circles, and by individuals claiming alien abduction experiences and those who believe in extraterrestrial life.
The features of the Greys have become the archetypal representation of extraterrestrials in popular culture – small, slender, grey-skinned beings with oversized heads and large, iris-less black eyes.
The Greys are also associated with the infamous Roswell Incident of 1947. Later CIA documents hinted at the recovery of alien beings from the purported crash in New Mexico.
These beings have become iconic representations of alien life in numerous science fiction films and television series, including Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed film, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Despite their prominent place in discussions about extraterrestrial encounters, this purported Siberian incident appears to be the first documented claim suggesting these beings possess the capability to inflict such devastating and terrifying acts.
