Russia: KGB MiG Encounters Cigar-Shaped Object

Around 1990, a Soviet MiG fighter jet operating under KGB directives encountered a cigar-shaped object over Russian territory. The object demonstrated flight characteristics far exceeding the performance capabilities of any known aircraft of the era.

This case is cited by Elizondo as evidence that the Soviet Union experienced the same type of UAP encounters as the United States, and that Soviet military and intelligence services took the phenomenon seriously enough to scramble interceptors. The cigar shape is consistent with what Hal Puthoff theorized as a dual-bubble propulsion configuration.
