This show delves into the some of the most bizarre UFO reports in Soviet Russian history and investigates rumors of a treasure trove of KGB UFO documents that remain top secret.
Height 611 UFO incident refers to an alleged UFO crash in Dalnegorsk, Primorsky Krai, USSR, on January 29, 1986. Height 611 (also known as Mount Izvestkovaya) is a hill located on the territory of the town.
A reddish ball was noticed by the inhabitants of the town at around 8 PM on that date. Eye-witnesses say that the ball appeared to be the size of a half of the moon's disc. The ball was flying parallel to the ground; there were no sounds accompanying the flight. It was later determined that the speed of the object was approximately 15 m/s (34 mph), and that it was flying about 700-800 meters above the ground. When the object reached Height 611, it started to descend and then crashed into the hill. All witnesses but one say there was no sound when the object reached the ground.
The process of the descent was described differently by eye-witnesses. Some said the object fell down with a flash and was not visible after that; others claimed it oscillated in altitude above the hill, radiating light of varying intensity as it went up and down. The light given off by the object was described by some like a forest fire, which lasted for approximately one hour.
Three days after the incident, a group of ufologists led by Valery Dvuzhilny climbed the hill. They discovered an impact site 2x2 m in size (other sources indicate the size of the site was 3x3 m). The ground looked like it was affected by very high temperatures. The rocks at the impact site were covered with a black film, and remains of a burnt tree were found within the landing ground. The remains were not typical for a forest fire.[citation needed] Some of the rocks had drops of silvery metal, which were later determined to be lead. The type of lead found on Height 611 was different from the lead found in local lead deposits. Also, black glassy, drop-shaped beads and mesh fragments were found at the site. In all, approximately 70 g of lead, 5 g of mesh fragments, and 40 g of beads were discovered. The radiation level on the landing ground was normal. The group took pictures of the site using two different cameras; however, the film later developed as blank.
Further incidents
Similar flying balls were detected over the territory of Dalnegorsky, Kavalerovsky District, Olginsky, and Terneysky District of Primorsky Krai in November 1987. One of the balls was noticed above the Height 611 illuminating the ground on the peak of the hill. The descriptions of these balls given by witnesses match the descriptions of the UFO that crashed on Height 611 in 1986.
A claim of a UFO landing on Height 611 was also made in 1989.
TV program on incident
The Dalnegorsk incident was covered by the Sightings television program on April 3, 1995. Director Tod Mesirow visited the site, spoke to witnesses, and also to some of the scientists involved in analyzing debris. According to Mesirow, "Russian analysis of metal fragments recovered from the crash site say the metal is not manmade manufacture, but is from somewhere else."
