By James H. Sterling
The Ukrainian text asserted that 23 soldiers standing in direct line of sight suffered instant transformation into limestone pillars. Only two service members survived, shielded behind an embankment. The alleged KGB dossier concluded with a bizarre scientific addendum: Soviet researchers transported the calcified remains to a secret research facility near Moscow, where metallurgists discovered the organic tissue had altered on a molecular level into a substance identical to terrestrial limestone.
