EVENT TITLE: Soviet UFO Crash Retrieval: Disc-Shaped UFOs Recovered at Zhigansk and Urals
EVENT DATE: 1979-01-01
EVENT TYPE: crash

According to UFO researcher Paul Stonehill, 1979 was the year the Soviet Union may have acquired two disc-shaped UFOs. One was said to be in the area of Zhigansk in central Siberia, the other in the northern Urals. The Zhigansk disc was reportedly transported to the secret Soviet nuclear facility To

The Incident In 1979, the Soviet Union allegedly recovered two disc-shaped UFOs. One crash site was located near Zhigansk in central Siberia. The other was reportedly in the northern Urals region. The Zhigansk disc was supposedly moved to a secret Soviet nuclear facility.

Investigation The provided text does not contain information about any official investigation into these alleged crashes. The source text does mention a 1989 article in Soviet Military Review titled "UFOs and Security," which described an incident in 1974 involving a South Korean anti-aircraft battery and a UFO. However, this incident is separate from the alleged 1979 crashes. The article lacks confirmation from separate sources.

Significance The alleged recovery of disc-shaped UFOs by the Soviet Union in 1979, if true, would be a significant event in UFO history. It would suggest that a major world power had physical evidence of extraterrestrial technology. The lack of independent confirmation and the reliance on researcher accounts, however, make it difficult to assess the veracity of these claims. The mention of the 1974 incident involving a South Korean anti-aircraft battery highlights the potential for hostile encounters between military forces and UFOs, a recurring theme in UFO lore.
