ABC presents interviews with several Soviet military
officials, including retired Soviet Air Force Colonel Boris Sokolov.
On 4 October 1982, a huge UFO hovered over the ballistic
missile base near Byelokoroviche ,
Ukraine . It
looked like a flying saucer, according to a Lieutenant Colonel. While the UFO
hovered over the ICBMs – the missiles were preparing for launching, according
to Sokolov. For 15 seconds – the Soviet military had no control over the
ICBM’s, ABC reports.
On 23 February 1988, a UFO was registered on radar near the
Kapustin Yar air base (located in Astrakhan Oblast) – and the entire Soviet
anti-ballistic radar grid did go on alert. Jet fighters were sent aloft – and
several times, fighter pilots were ordered to fire on the unknown object. Each
time a pilot was ready to fire – the target had disappeared. Finally, the UFO
went away.
