Astrakhan Oblast, Russia, 500 miles south of Moscow, June 1948, 11 months after the Roswell incident, at the Soviet military rocketry research and development base Kapustin Yar, erratic blips appear on the radar screens.

At the same time, a MiG jet fighter pilot sees an unidentifiable cigar-shaped object flying in front of him.

What we have now come to understand is that there was an engagement of the Soviet military with an unknown object that entered the airspace at or near Kapustin Yar.

The Soviet MiG fighter was scrambled to intercept the aircraft and engaged in a three-minute dogfight with the UFO. The jet was able to fire off a missile, and the missile apparently hit the craft just as the craft hit the MiG with some kind of blinding flash of light that caused the MiG with the UFO to crash.

When people talk about UFO crashes, they often mention Roswell as if it's the only instance. However, it happened repeatedly at Kapustin Yar, providing another example of a genuine Roswell-type crash, this time in the Soviet Union. The incident was entirely classified under the umbrella of national security. Special teams were designed to create a cover story, and the wreckage was sent to warehouses where the technology could be analyzed and understood.

Rumors have circulated for years that nearly a quarter mile beneath the surface of the Kapustin Yar base, there are hallways and chambers containing downed extraterrestrial craft, along with rooms where alien autopsies have been performed. Often referred to as the Soviet Union's Area 51, Kapustin Yar was a very remote and sophisticated location. The Soviets conducted major rocket testing and advanced back engineering of Nazi technology from World War II.

Some people speculated that this was the main storage site for crashed UFOs in the Soviet Union, and secret tests were being conducted there.

Curiously, at this secret facility, the Soviets developed better nuclear weapons and delivery systems in 18 months than they had anticipated creating in five years.

In 1959, the United States Central Intelligence Agency began to monitor the covert base and collect aerial photographs from a YouTube reconnaissance mission.

When the United States sent reconnaissance missions over there during the Cold War, they observed incredible carved images on the ground around Kapustin Yar.

When we examine the depictions of these geoglyphs, they appear similar to what we see in crop circles and certain ancient landforms visible on Earth. There clearly seems to have been an attempt to communicate with extraterrestrials, perhaps conveying a message like "X marks the spot, come here, guys."

Kapustin Yar was one of the former Soviet Union’s most secretive air bases, rumored to be researching UFO technology, leading one to wonder if these symbols were used to attract UFOs.
