Soviet-era file details bizarre Ukraine incident where humanoid aliens retaliated after UFO was shot down, claims soldiers were petrified
Washington/Kyiv, April 16, 2025 – A declassified CIA document from the Cold War era has resurfaced and stirred intense speculation online after describing a shocking alleged alien encounter involving Soviet troops in Ukraine. The file, which details the petrification of 23 soldiers, was originally declassified in 2000 and is part of the CIA’s public UFO archives.
According to the file — reportedly based on a KGB investigation — the incident occurred between 1989 and 1990, when a group of Soviet soldiers allegedly shot down a UFO during a training exercise. What followed, the report claims, was extraterrestrial retaliation of terrifying proportions.

The document alleges that troops spotted a low-flying saucer-shaped craft, which one soldier struck with a surface-to-air missile, causing it to crash. From the wreckage, five small humanoid figures with large heads and black eyes reportedly emerged.
The file claims that these beings merged into a glowing sphere, which exploded in a blinding flash of light, turning 23 soldiers into stone-like statues. Only two soldiers survived — those who were reportedly standing in the shade during the incident.
“The soldiers’ living cells turned into a limestone-like substance,” the CIA document reads, quoting from the original KGB report.

According to the report:
- The KGB transported both the wreckage and the petrified soldiers to a secret base near Moscow.
- Soviet scientists concluded that an unknown form of light radiation had caused the cellular transformation.
- An American agent described the scene as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures.”
💬 Skepticism & Cultural Buzz
While the Canadian Weekly World News and Ukrainian paper Holos Ukrayiny were among the first to report the story in the 1990s, it has recently gained traction again after being discussed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Former CIA agent Mike Baker, speaking to Fox News, expressed doubt about the veracity of the account:
“If there was an incident, the actual report probably doesn’t resemble what’s being shared now. It’s likely been altered through years of retellings.”
⚠️ CIA’s Warning
In its final note, the CIA file reportedly states:
“If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”
