This CIA Information from Foreign Documents or Radio Broadcasts report, No. 00-W-23682, relays a Greek-language press item published 9 July 1952. It gives the sworn testimony of Oscar Linke, a former mayor of Gleimershausen who had escaped to West Berlin, and his daughter Gabriella. They described two men in shiny metallic clothing beside a frying pan shaped object 13 to 15 meters wide near Hasselbach. The object rose, rotated and flew off toward Stockheim, leaving a freshly dug hole. The report is marked unevaluated information.
This CIA document, dated 6 July 1965, is a page of translated Latin American press and radio items, mostly about Argentina. It covers a government resolution against extremist groups, a crisis in the meatpacking industry, relations with Algeria, and oil imports. One ANSA item says Argentine, Chilean and British bases in Antarctica watched red, green and yellow flying saucers over Deception Island for two hours. The same item says they were also seen flying in formation over the South Orkney Islands.
This CIA Foreign Broadcast Information Service translation reproduces a report from the Moscow newspaper Trud of 30 January 1985. It describes the crew of Aeroflot flight 8352, a Tu-134 flying from Tbilisi to Tallinn, watching a luminous object about 120 kilometers from Minsk. The object cast beams of light and became a cloud that escorted the aircraft to Tallinn, and controllers reported seeing it too. Commission member N. A. Zheltukhin concluded that the crew had encountered a UFO.
This is a CIA-released, unclassified translation of an article from Moscow Pravda dated 15 April 1991, carried in a message titled "Diverging Opinions on Cause of Sasovo Explosion" and approved for release in May 2000. It describes a powerful midnight explosion on 12 April near Sasovo in Ryazan Oblast. The blast damaged roofs and windows and left a crater 28 meters wide and about 4 meters deep. Local explanations ranged from old munitions, an air bomb, a meteorite and UFOs to the military's view that ammonium nitrate exploded. The cause remained unresolved.
