Initial data
The huge airship-shaped object first caught the attention of the military when it appeared on the radar screens of the Mangyshlak Peninsula, flying from West to East at a speed of 960 km per hour and at an altitude of 6,600 meters.
Thinking that the object could be launched from Kapustin Yar, the staff of Mangishlak contacted the cosmodrome. Kapustin denied any information about the object, although they confirmed its appearance on radar. The object did not respond to attempts to establish communication on any frequency, and since it was flying near the restricted area, two MIG-29 fighters that were already on patrol were sent to intercept it. In addition, a third aircraft was lifted from airfield 7.
The MIG pilots were ordered to intercept the object, identify it if possible, and try to establish contact with it. and make it land at the nearest airfield. If the target refused to cooperate, they were ordered to shoot it down. MiGs intercepted the object over the Western shore of the Aral sea at 05: 12. the Pilots observed the object both visually and on their radar screens, and they described it as a blimp shape, 600 meters long and 110 meters wide, with very little surface detail except for two round "portholes" in the front and some strange green markings in the back. The object did not commit hostile actions and did not react in any way to the presence of jets.
When all attempts to communicate with the object failed, the squadron commander suggested placing the jet engines on both sides of the object at a distance of about 800 meters and carefully but firmly direct them to the airfield. If necessary, the jets would fire warning shots to encourage the target to cooperate. However, when the jets were positioned around the object, it soon became apparent that within 800 meters of it, for no apparent reason, the MiG weapons systems were disabled.
To make matters worse, at a distance of 600 meters from the object, the MiG engines began to fail. The object began to perform zigzag evasive maneuvers and increase its speed from 960 km/h to 6800 km/h. These maneuvers were confirmed by radar at Baikonur, Alma-Alta and Bishkek.
The planes retreated when it became apparent that their plan to forcibly land the object would not succeed, and the object headed East through Alma Alta airspace at a slightly lower altitude of 4,500 meters. Radar controllers in Alma Alta, fearing a collision with a conventional aircraft, issued a General warning for air traffic to avoid the area. At 05: 27, the object disappeared from radar in the area of lake Issyk-Kul near the border with Kazakhstan.
A month later, Bishkek began to receive reports that a huge UFO crashed into the Tien Shan mountains, 100 km East of Przhevalsk, near the peak known as Victory Peak.
In fact, this place lay in a gorge known as" Shaitan Mazar "or" devil's Grave", near the Saris Dzas river.
A search party led by Michael Elchin was immediately dispatched, but was unable to reach the site due to heavy snowfall. In June 1992, a second expedition was organized, consisting of three groups of volunteers with both scientific education and mountaineering experience. The expedition arrived at the site on December 6, 1992 and set up a base camp 2.5 km North-Northwest of the crash site. It was noted that the path of the object was such that after hitting the ground, it slid 1,700 meters.
It then exploded from the inside of its center, ripping it into almost two equal parts and bending its internal structure outward from the center of the explosion. Decks and interior details were visible inside the facility through a gap created by the explosion. The expedition immediately noticed several unusual effects when they began to examine the object. They couldn't take a picture of the object because some kind of radiation illuminated the entire film and ruined all the video recordings.
When a member of the group approached the object closer than 800 meters, he began to feel unusual anxiety, depression and exhaustion. Within this 800-meter range, the men's hair stood on end. The instruments showed an unusually high amount of static electricity in the air. Compasses and magnetometers refused to function normally in the area of the object. The measuring instruments did not register any magnetic fields at all within the elliptical-shaped region centered on an object measuring 2,230 meters long and 1,700 meters wide. Even natural magnetic rocks do not show a magnetic field inside this ellipse. All watches and wristwatches stopped at a distance of 600 meters from the object.
Everyone who approached the object began to receive some kind of radiation burns at a distance of 500 meters. Soon the expedition had to leave this place, but in the future it was planned to return.

Summary: A huge dirigible shaped object first attracted the attention of the military when it appeared on the radar screens of the Mangishlak Peninsula, flying from west to east at 960 km per hour and at an altitude of 6600 meters. Thinking that the object might have been launched from Kapustin Yar, Mangishlak personnel contacted the Cosmodrome. Kapustin denied any knowledge of the object, although they confirmed its appearance on radar. The object failed to respond to attempts at communication on any frequency, and since it was flying near a restricted area, two MIG-29 fighter jets that were already on patrol were directed to intercept it. In addition a third jet was scrambled from Air station 7. The MIG pilots were directed to intercept the object, to identify it if possible, to try to make contact with it, and to force it to land at the nearest Air station. If the object failed to cooperate, they were directed to shoot it down. The Migs intercepted the object over the western shore of the Aral Sea at 0512A. The pilots observed the object both visually and on their radar screens, and they described it as dirigible shaped, 600 meters long by 110 meters wide, with very little surface detail except for two round “portholes” near the front, and some sort of strange green markings near the rear. The object did not make any hostile moves or react in any way to the presence of the jets. When all attempts at contacting the object failed, the squadron leader proposed positioning the jets on either side of the object at a distance of about 800 meters and gently but firmly directing it to the Air Station. If necessary the jets were to fire warning shots to encourage the object to cooperate. When the jets were in position around the object, however, it soon became apparent that, within 800 meters of it, the weapons systems of the Migs shut down for no apparent reason. Worse yet, at a distance of 600 meters from the object, the engines of the Migs began to malfunction. The object began to make zigzag evasive maneuvers and to increase its speed from 960 kms per hour to 6800k kms per hour. These maneuvers were verified by radar at Baikonur, Alma-Alta and Bishkek. The jets backed off as it became apparent that their plan to force the object to land was not going to succeed, and the object proceeded east through Alma-Alta airspace at a slightly lower altitude of 4500 meters. Radar dispatchers at Alma-Alta fearing a collision with a conventional aircraft issued a general alert for air traffic to avoid the area. At 0527A the object disappeared from radar in the area of Lake Issyk-Kul near the border of Kazakhstan. A month later reports began to trickle back to Bishkek that a huge UFO had been seen to crash into the Tien Shan Mountains, 100 km east of Przhevalsk near a peak known as Pik Pobeda (Peak of Victory). The actual site lay in a gorge known as “Shaitan Mazar” or “Grave of the Devil”, near the Saris Dzas River. A search party led by Michael Eltchin was immediately dispatched but were unable to reach the site due to heavy snowfall. In June 1992 a second expedition was mounted, consisting of three groups of volunteers having both a scientific background and mountain climbing experience. The expedition arrived on site on 6-12-1992 and set up a base camp 2.5 km NNW from the actual crash site. The path of the object was noted to be such that it had slid 1700 meters after hitting the ground. It then exploded from within its center, blasting it into almost two equal parts and bending its internal structure outwards from the center of the explosion. Decks and interior features were visible inside the object through the gap made by the blast. The expedition immediately noticed several unusual effects when they began to examine the object. They could not photograph the object because some sort of radiation exposed all film and ruined all videotape. Whenever a member of the party got closer than 800 meters to the object, he began to feel unusual anxiety, depression and exhaustion. Within this 800 meter range, the men’s hair stood on end. Instruments showed an unusually high amount of static electricity in the air. Compasses and magnetometers refused to function properly in the area of the object. Measurement devices registered no magnetic fields at all within an elliptically shaped area centered on the object and measuring 2230 meters long and 1700 meters wide. Even naturally occurring magnetic rocks showed no magnetic field within this ellipse. All clocks and wristwatches stopped at a distance of 600 meters from the object. Anyone who approached the object began to suffer from some sort of radiation burns at a distance of 500 meters. The expedition soon had to abandon the site, but planned to return in the future.
