Former CIA operative Tracy Walder has come forward with startling details surrounding a partially declassified CIA document that references a chilling incident involving Soviet troops and an alleged UFO encounter in Siberia.
According to the document—originally sourced from a 1993 Russian newspaper article and later translated and disseminated by the CIA's Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS)—a group of Soviet soldiers on a training mission in the remote Siberian wilderness reportedly encountered an unidentified flying object between 1989 and 1990, just prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The soldiers allegedly engaged the UFO, successfully shooting it down with a surface-to-air missile. What happened next is the stuff of science fiction—or perhaps something more.
Two surviving soldiers later claimed that five beings, described as gray humanoids with large black, almond-shaped eyes, emerged from the wreckage. The entities then reportedly merged into a glowing, spherical object. Seconds later, the sphere emitted a brilliant flash of light that allegedly turned 23 soldiers into what was described as a “limestone-like” material—completely petrified.
According to the report, the two survivors were spared only because they had taken shelter in a shaded area, shielded from the light.
The authenticity of the document has not been confirmed, and the CIA has neither officially validated the claims nor indicated it considered the information credible. Walder, however, points out that the CIA’s interest in the article—enough to translate and archive it—suggests it wasn’t dismissed outright.
"The fact that this document was preserved by the CIA doesn't prove the event happened," Walder admitted in a recent interview. "But it certainly doesn’t prove it didn’t. And during that era, anything unusual coming out of the Soviet Union was of great interest to U.S. intelligence."
While the story remains unverified and heavily debated among intelligence experts and ufologists, its eerie details and the CIA’s quiet documentation of it continue to fuel speculation about what really happened in the frozen forests of Siberia more than three decades ago.
