Kapustin Yar Rocket-Weapons-Depot UFO Reports

“Hastings cites Don Berliner’s summary of declassified KGB material from July 28, 1989 describing up to three disc-like objects near Kapustin Yar, military witness depositions, an unsuccessful fighter approach, prolonged observation, and a bright beam reported near buildings at a rocket-weapons depot.”

“Berliner’s summary says the KGB file contained seven military depositions, witness drawings and a case summary concerning the July 28–29, 1989 Kapustin Yar incident.”

“The case summary described up to three objects including a 4–5 m disc with a hemispherical top, abrupt noiseless movement and low hovering.”

“Ensign Valery Voloshin reported a disc hovering over a rocket-weapons depot and a bright beam sweeping part of a building before the object moved around the complex and returned.”

“Berliner noted that no information on possible radar tracking or the reported fighter mission had been released, limiting evaluation.”

“Hastings argues the flare explanation is inadequate and speculates about deliberate or incidental missile activation; the book does not demonstrate motive or causal mechanism.”
