Russian soldiers shot down a unidentified flying object (UFO), and soon after, they turned into stone. This bizarre incident allegedly took place in 1989 at Transcaucasus region, where a military unit reportedly encountered a brightly lit, cigar-shaped craft. When the soldiers opened fire, the UFO retaliated, instantly transforming them into stone-like structures. The case was secretively investigated, and while the truth remains elusive, many believe it to be evidence of extraterrestrial encounters.
