The Russian equivalent of the Roswell Incident took place in 1948 near Kapustin Yar, a top secret Soviet research facility several hundred miles south of Moscow. A MiG jet fighter engaged a cigar-shaped UFO in a three minute dogfight after radar operators picked up the unidentified object. Both craft were damaged and fell to the ground. Soviet recovery teams quickly gathered up the wreckage and transported it to the underground facility at Kapustin Yar.
