Summary of Voronezh Incident – When Aliens Landed in the Soviet Union

00:00:00 - 00:35:00

In the late 1980s, reports of UFO sightings and alien encounters began appearing in Soviet newspapers. It is not clear what was motivating these reports, but it is hypothesized that they were part of an attempt to test the limits of Glasnost, the new policy of openness and transparency instituted by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Some experts suggest that the increased media attention to UFOs and alien encounters was a way of testing the boundaries of the government's willingness to discuss such outlandish concepts. The video discusses the Voronezh Incident, in which Soviet military personnel found a UFO partially buried in the ground. It appears that the beings inside the UFO were dead, with organs and tissue that did not resemble those of humans. The video also mentions a second UFO-related incident that occurred in February 1959.

• 00:00:00 On the evening of September 27 1989, a curious pink light appeared in the sky above a crowded city park in the Soviet Union. The light descended to the ground, and a hatch opened on the lower part of the light. A humanoid figure emerged, and it pointed a gun at the boy before vanishing back into the light. The boy appeared unharmed. The story of this event spread quickly, causing an uproar among the citizens of the Soviet Union. Military personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene to interview witnesses, and it was determined that this was not an ordinary alien encounter. Scientists later identified the landing site and found traces of aliens who made a short promenade around the park.
