Documents / FOIA release
This CIA-released FBIS translation of a 26 June 1996 ITAR-TASS report from Vilnius was approved for release in March 1997. It says two Lithuanian motor police officers saw a spherical, pulsing object hovering 20 to 30 meters above the ground near the village of Nemezis, on the Vilnius-Medininkai road, early on 25 June. The object made a crackling sound and flew off toward Vilnius. ARAS rapid reaction troops, sniffer dogs and civil defense staff searched the site, measured radiation and found grass flattened in a 10 meter radius.
