Voronezh and the Landing in the Park

Yuzhny Park (formerly Shinnik Park) in Voronezh is an unassuming urban green space that suddenly became the epicenter of a global UFO sensation in the autumn of 1989. The location gained worldwide fame after Soviet state media reported that a glowing spherical craft had landed there, carrying giant extraterrestrials witnessed by local schoolchildren.
