Military maneuvers and exercises codenamed "Shield of the Fatherland-2004" began in the forests of Belarus. Senior Lieutenant Dmitry-the commander of the reconnaissance sabotage group (RDG) performed rearguard operations and was engaged in the destruction of pre-located targets there. On August 24, at 22:00, they set up camp. Two men codenamed "Rainbow" and "Hedgehog" were sent on night duty. 

The group decided to set up a camp 375 meters from the village of Krepachi in the Brest region. The place was a mixed forest, in a clearing with two large old oak trees and a lake in between. Almost empty (dying?) The village was not on any map, and the nearest real settlement was the village of Gorodishche. At 03: 08, they were awakened by a bright but monotonously spreading orange light. Their radio communication in the portable ("Snowdrop") radio remained intact. 

Dmitry asked the Rainbow if he had seen anything. "Rainbow" replied that he could see the plate ship about 27 meters away, hovering above the ground at an altitude of about 2.5 meters. Then Dmitry gave the command to take up the defense and prepare a grenade launcher. After making sure that all of his men were ready, Dmitry took another Barkhan man and went to investigate. The object was usually shaped like a plate with a truncated cone on top. On closer inspection, the object appeared to be metallic. The UFO emitted a beam of turquoise light from its center. 

Suddenly, the "Hedgehog" reported that he saw four figures approaching from the object, which he could not see properly due to the tall grass hiding them. The men then switched their laser rangefinder to infrared mode. The humanoid figures seemed very tall, but the humans couldn't see them properly. Dimitri noticed that the figures moved evenly, like robots. 

After a few seconds, the UFO quickly gained altitude and disappeared from view behind the clouds. According to the laser rangefinder, the speed of the UFO was 2600 kilometers per hour. Then the humanoid figures went in different directions. Dimitri didn't order his men to follow them, because that might have led to a split in the group, which was contrary to the defensive order. The figures seemed to be passing through some high-voltage wires, as if they weren't there. Dimitri could only hope that the humanoids and the object would leave quickly and that his people would not be harmed. 

When they returned to their unit, some of the men informed the senior officers of what had happened. The officers ordered the men to remain silent so that they would not be dismissed from the army for "psychological" reasons. He suggested that the men had hallucinations as a result of rigorous training. 

KGB officers later interviewed the men and seemed relieved that they had not used their weapons against the "aliens" for fear of retribution. 

A resident of the village told army investigators that spherical and disc-shaped objects were often observed in this place. The villagers were herding cows in a clearing where the UFO had descended, and the men had set up camp, and reported that cow's milk production had plummeted. 

Original news

Location. Krepachi, Baranovichi area, Brest region, Belarus
Date: August 24 2004
Time: 0308A
Military maneuvers and exercises code-named “Shield of the Fatherland-2004” (Szhit Otechestva-2004) began in the forests of Belarus. A senior lieutenant named Dmitriy commander of a reconnaissance diversion group (RDG) was performing rear guard operations and was engaged in destroying targets pre-positioned there. On August 24 at 2200 they made camp. Two men code-named “Rainbow” and “Hedgehog” were posted for night duty watch. The group had decided to make camp 375 meters away from the village of Krepachi in the Brest region. The location was mixed forest, in a clearing with 2 large old oaks and a lake between them. The almost empty (dying?) village was not in any map and the nearest real inhabited place was the hamlet of Gorodiszhe. At 0308A they were awakened by a bright, but a monotonously spreading orange light. Their radio communication in their portable (Podsneshnik) radio remained intact. Dmitriy asked Rainbow if he had seen anything. Rainbow replied that he could see a plate-shaped craft about 27 meters from him hovering over the earth at an altitude of about 2.5m. Dmitriy then gave the command to take defensive positions and prepare the grenade launcher. After confirming that all his men were ready, Dmitriy took another man “Barkhan” and went on a reconnaissance patrol. The object was generally sauce-shaped with a truncated cone above. At close observation the object seemed metallic. The UFO emitted a beam of turquoise light from its center. Unexpectedly “Hedgehog” reported that he could see four figures approaching from the object, which he could not see them properly because of the tall grass concealing them. The men then turned on their laser rangefinder to infra red mode. The humanoid figures seemed very tall, but the men could not see them properly. Dmitriy noticed that the figures moved evenly as if robotic in nature. Seconds later the UFO quickly gained altitude, zooming out of sight beyond the clouds. According to the laser rangefinder the UFO speed was 2600 kilometers per hour. The humanoid figures then walked into different directions. Dmitriy did not order his men to follow them because that could lead to separating the group, which contradicted the defensive order. The figures seemed to walk through some high tension wires as if they were not there. Dmitriy could only hope that the humanoids and object quickly leave and that his men would not be harmed. After returning to their unit some of the men informed senior officers of what had taken place. The officers ordered the men to keep silence, in order to prevent them from being discharged from the Army under “psychological” reasons. He suggested that the men had been hallucinating as a result of the rigorous training exercises. Later KGB personnel interview the men and appeared to be glad that the men had not used their weapons against the “aliens” for fear of retaliation. A female resident of the village told Army investigators that spherical and disk-shaped objects were often observed in the location. The villagers had been pasturing cows in the glade where the UFO had descended and the men had camped, and reported that the cow’s milk production had dropped dramatically.
