The creature was clad in a silver jumpsuit with bronze boots and was so large it appeared to fill the hatch opening. Both the kids and adults were awed by the spectacle before them and utterly unprepared for what they were about to see next.Īccording to eyewitness accounts, a hatch on the underside of the still hovering craft opened to reveal an odd, long-armed, neck-less, thick-set, 9-foot tall entity with a small, knob-like head. It was also spotted by 35 to 40 adults who were waiting at a nearby bus stop on Poutiline St. But it wasn’t only children who saw the UFO. It hovered near a group of grade-school children including Vasya Surin, Julia Sholokhova, Lena Sarokina, Alyosha Nikonov and Vova Startsev – who were engaged in a soccer match. That was until the strange craft returned just minutes later. Then, just as suddenly as it had arrived, the UFO soared away, leaving the eyewitnesses perplexed and no doubt more than a little relieved. Witnesses swore that the “vehicle” hovered less than 40-feet above ground, close enough to disturb the grass below.

Eyewitnesses reported that on the evening in question a glowing, deep red, ovoid object - which they estimated to be approximately 45-feet wide and 18-feet high - circled above an area known as Levoberezhniy’s park. The city has a population of nearly one million and hardly seems like the kind of isolated region that is ordinarily associated with strange alien encounters, yet on the evening of September 27, 1989, at about 6:30 pm., it became the host of what strikes many as being one of the most unusual, not to mention horrifying, encounters with creatures ever recorded.

The Russian city of Voronezh is an industrial hub located about 300 miles from Moscow. A month before, one appeared in Paris' Jardin du Luxembourg.In what may be the most bizarre extraterrestrial encounter ever reported, dozens of eyewitnesses claimed that in the autumn of 1989, a trio of three-eyed aliens - along with their mechanical companion - landed and attacked a pair of teens in a Russian park. In July, one was set up in Barcelona's Parc de Joan Miró.

Colomina appeared to be referencing Russia's war with Ukraine - and the Russian president's role in it. "This sculpture aims at denouncing the absurdity of war and at highlighting children's courage when faced with violent, catastrophic situations triggered by others," the street artist wrote in an Instagram post about the statue.
