Documents / FOIA release
This is an unclassified Central Intelligence Agency monitoring list of Moscow media broadcasts dated 25 January 1991, released in 2010. It summarizes Soviet radio, TV and TASS items on the Persian Gulf war, the unrest in the Baltic republics, the withdrawal of 50 and 100 ruble banknotes, and Soviet foreign relations. Its only UFO reference is a science program answer to a Kenyan listener. That answer confirmed there has never been an official statement on the capture of a UFO.
