This Central Intelligence Agency press selection list dated 22 November 1990 indexes articles from that day's Moscow newspapers, including Krasnaya Zvezda, Sovetskaya Rossiya, Selskaya Zhizn and Rabochaya Tribuna. The listed items cover Soviet military, political and economic affairs, among them a Bosphorus ship collision and a Vilnius army camp incident. One Selskaya Zhizn item reports a local officer's disclosure of radar sightings of UFOs around the time of a 15 November rogue surface-to-air missile launch in Amur Oblast.
