The mystical fog. Kazakhstan

Date: 1976  
Location:   Barsakelmes Island, Aral Sea, Kazakhstan
Time:   night
Summary:  About a dozen special KGB troops including 3 officers and led by a Major were dropped off at the island by a launch during military maneuvers in the area. As they patrolled the uninhabited island the group entered a strange fogbank. At this moment the Major perceived an incomprehensible anxiety. His expedition was a cover for a special operation designed to verify countless reports by locals of bizarre phenomena observed in the island and surrounding territories, which included flying luminous spheres, feelings of groundless horror and encounters with mysterious beings. The fog suddenly dissipated and the soldiers stumbled into a high fence, which according to maps was not supposed to be there. Weapons at the ready the men climbed the fence and arrived at an area next to a large rocky hill, next to the hill they saw a silvery sphere about 5 meters in diameter sitting on the ground, it brightly reflected the sunlight. Next to the sphere stood three strangely dressed persons, on the belt of each hung what appeared to be a “laser gun” as perceived by the Major and his troops. The Major silently ordered his soldiers to noiselessly move along the fence and be prepared for battle. The plan was to detain the strangers and if necessary to use force. Major waved his pistol and the men silently rushed the sparkling sphere. The figures standing around it reacted and attempted to grasp their weapons but were instantly cut down by the soldier’s automatic fire. After ordering the men not to touch anything the Major searched the corpses of the strangers. He took out a long thin tube, which had a knob with several colored buttons from one of the stranger’s belt. After directing the muzzle into the sand he pressed one of the buttons but nothing happened. Suddenly they heard a whistle and all the men including the Major squatted down expecting trouble, at this point the Major noticed that at the spot where he had pointed the strange “weapon’s” muzzle there was a large round spot of melted sand. He realized that it had taken a very high temperature to perform this. One of the soldiers then came running over reporting that he found a small cave on the rocky cliff. Led by the Major the soldiers enter the grotto and after a short passage entered a small hall, lined by rows of long tables filled with incomprehensible equipment, in the center of which, was located an apparent control panel. At the tables and inclined over the instruments were several huge man-like figures over two meters in height, wearing silvery overalls. Outwardly these giants were very similar to people. Other smaller figures also wearing silvery coveralls walked along the tables. A bright light from an unknown source illuminated the hall. The men began firing their weapons in all directions and the dwarf-like figures began falling, however the bullets appeared to have no effect on the giants whatsoever. Menacingly the giants rose from their seats and rushed the men who began a panicky retreat. As the men ran like mad towards the shore they heard a loud cracking sound behind them, looking behind them they saw bright beams of white light being directed towards the sky, which changed colors to red, to blue and then to multicolored waves of light. After several minutes the lower end of the beam of light became thin as a needle and began to describe circles above the island, moments later the stunned men saw what appeared to be a fiery conflagration above the island, which lasted for about 20 minutes. Suddenly everything disappeared. The men were debriefed and threatened not to divulge what had occurred. No traces were located during a search, according to KGB sources.
