Narrative
"In 1989, a strange event occurred in Voronesh, a town 300 miles southeast of Moscow. This event was witnessed by over 40 people and remains one of the most attested encounters in history. It is the encounter that for the time made western UFO aware researchers that alien sightings were also happening more frequently behind the IRON CURTAIN." submitted by /u/kelvinkelca
