A newly resurfaced CIA document is reigniting public fascination with UFOs after detailing an alleged incident in which a group of soldiers was reportedly turned to stone by an unknown aerial force.
The document, originally declassified years ago but now going viral online, describes a chilling Cold War-era event where Soviet troops encountered a mysterious, disc-shaped object. According to the account, five humanoid figures emerged from the craft and allegedly released a blast of intense energy, instantly petrifying over 20 soldiers.
The file suggests that two survivors eventually relayed the event before the Soviet military seized the remains for analysis. Though the authenticity of the claims remains unverified, the account is drawing renewed attention amid heightened interest in government disclosures about unidentified aerial phenomena.
Intelligence experts caution that the document may have originated from secondhand Soviet sources and was never fully confirmed by U.S. officials. Nonetheless, its dramatic content and unexplained nature are fueling speculation across social media and conspiracy circles.
The incident adds to a growing archive of mysterious cases involving alleged extraterrestrial encounters, as calls for full transparency from intelligence agencies continue to build in the wake of recent congressional hearings on UFO activity.
