Soviet Krasnoyarsk: Militia Report Two Disc UFOs Follow and Harass Patrol Cars
On February 22, 1990, Rabochaya Tribuna publishes a report by Soviet militiamen in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk claiming that two disc-shaped UFOs followed their patrol cars. One of the discs landed on a nearby hill and 'harassed them' with rays of colored lights before flying away.
Background
1. On February 22, 1990, a report was published in Rabochaya Tribuna detailing an alleged UFO encounter experienced by Soviet militiamen in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. The report describes two disc-shaped UFOs following patrol cars and harassing them with colored lights.
The Incident
The report, published in Rabochaya Tribuna, describes an incident where Soviet militiamen in Krasnoyarsk encountered two disc-shaped UFOs. The UFOs reportedly followed the patrol cars. One of the discs allegedly landed on a nearby hill.
The landed disc then supposedly 'harassed' the patrol cars with rays of colored lights. After this, the UFOs flew away.
Investigation
Dolan's account mentions that one officer told the press "Something was there." Circles were reportedly found in the area later that month. Researcher Jerome Clark called this a “classic case.” However, Dolan's account also indicates the event may have been a hoax.
Significance
The Krasnoyarsk incident is one of many UFO reports that emerged from the Soviet Union during a period of increased openness prior to the government's collapse. Dolan's account compares it to stories from the West describing hostile encounters between military aircraft and UFOs. The incident highlights the global nature of UFO sightings and the potential for such events to be reported even within closed societies.
