The Height 611 UFO Crash

A glowing sphere crashed into a Soviet mountain. Recovery teams found metallic debris with impossible properties—isotope ratios that don't exist on Earth.

On January 29, 1986, residents of Dalnegorsk in the Soviet Far East watched a glowing reddish sphere crash into Height 611, a nearby mountain. What investigators recovered has puzzled scientists for decades.

The Crash

At 7:55 PM, witnesses observed a silent, glowing object approximately 2 meters in diameter moving horizontally before striking the mountain summit. It burned intensely for about an hour.

The Debris

According to documented research, recovery teams found:

  • Metallic spheres with unusual isotope ratios
  • Mesh-like material finer than any known manufacturing
  • Lead droplets containing rare earth elements
  • Vitrified (glass-like) sand from intense heat
  • Black glass with organic carbon compounds

Soviet laboratories reported the materials contained alloy compositions and isotope ratios that couldn’t be produced by any known technology.

Subsequent Events

Remarkably, on November 28, 1987, witnesses reported seeing 32 spherical objects maneuvering around the crash site in formation—as if investigating or retrieving something.

The case, often called “Russia’s Roswell,” remains unexplained. The physical evidence has been preserved and continues to be studied.
