The Dalnegorsk Mass UFO Sighting (1987)

On November 28, 1987, nearly two years after a mysterious object crashed into Hill 611 above the Soviet mining village of Dalnegorsk, the sky filled with UFOs. Hundreds of residents watched as thirteen objects broke away from a larger formation and descended toward the village. Three hovered stationary over the town, five illuminated the crash site on the nearby mountain, and electrical equipment throughout Dalnegorsk malfunctioned. The mass sighting seemed connected to the earlier crash - as if something had returned.

• Original crash left metallic beads
• Unusual properties documented
• Did something want it back?
• Or want to investigate site?
• Purpose unknown

Soviet Response

Government handling:

• Part of Soviet UFO files
• Later partially disclosed
• Took seriously

The Question

November 28, 1987. Dalnegorsk, Soviet Far East.

Almost two years ago, something crashed into the hill above this mining village. They found strange metallic debris. Beads that didn’t behave like normal matter. Soil contaminated with material from a thousand miles away.

Russia’s Roswell, they called it.

Tonight, something comes back.

The sky floods with UFOs.

Not one. Not two. Thirteen objects break away from a larger formation. They descend toward the village.

Three hover over the town. Watching.

Five illuminate the crash site on Hill 611. The exact spot where the object came down in January 1986.

Throughout Dalnegorsk, electrical equipment fails. TVs. Radios. Lights flicker. Something is affecting the power.

Hundreds of people are watching. Ministry of Internal Affairs officers see it at 11:30. They describe an opaque sphere with a smaller red sphere inside.

This is not mass hysteria. This is not misidentification. This is an organized operation.

They came back.

Whatever crashed on that hill - they came back for it. Or came back to investigate. Or came back to make sure we knew they were watching.

Five objects, specifically illuminating the crash site.

What were they looking for?

What did they find?

November 28, 1987.

Dalnegorsk.

They returned to the scene.

Something crashed.

Something came back.

And hundreds of Soviet citizens watched it happen.

The crash left evidence.

The return left questions.

Both remain unexplained.
