Not all of the 12,000 Project Blue Book reports have been noticed by the public...

One such file comes from 1956 Afghanistan, where an attache in the country sent a telex to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base detailing a UFO wave in the country and a reported "landing" of a metallic "flying saucer" with thick glass windows around its leading edge.

Four days later, Afghanistan signed a historic agreement with the Soviet Union to modernize its military and infrastructure.

In the 1980s, a US State Department memo details several "close encounters" in the country, speculating secret USSR technology may be behind them.

Today, we know a Soviet project code named Thread-3 did exist, and its goal was to figure out how UFOs worked and, possibly, reverse engineer them.

Were they successful? And did a saucer in Afghanistan jump start these efforts? Also, did the US pull its own "crashed disc" out of the region a decade later?

Explore a little-known case, that may have more documentation than Roswell, with us in today's episode.
