MARCH 3, 1978, URDZHAR, KYRGYSTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, PEOPLE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Ukrainian ufologist Anton Anfalov reportedly told that between Urdzhar and Alekseevka, Kazakhstan, on March 3, 1978, at night, it was reported that a low flying UFO was downed to ground due to a direct close hit by surface-to-air missile from a nearby AA-class missile base, located in the area of Urdzhar. The disk had been circling the military base at a low altitude when it was shot down.

The recovery team found a silver disc shaped object, 10-15 meters in diameter, with a dome on top, with the upper part of the hull and part of the dome damaged, apparently by the direct hit from the "missiles".

The disk was transported to the Semipalatinsk State Nuclear Test Range and hidden in an underground bunker. The craft is supposedly still there.

Two dead aliens closely resembled humans and about 1.5 meters in height, with large baldheads, with five fingered extremities. The preliminary autopsy of the bodies was done on location and then the bodies were transported to in an underground area west of Moscow.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Between Urdzhar and Alekseevka, Kazakhstan, on March 3, 1978, at night, it was reported that a low flying UFO was downed from ground due to a direct close hit by surface-to-air missile from a nearby AA-class missile base, located in the area of Urdzhar. The recovery team found a silver disc shaped object, 10-15 meters in diameter, with a dome on top, one side of it (the upper part of the hull and part of the dome) was damaged apparently caused by the direct hit from the missiles. The disk was transported to the Semipalatinsk State Nuclear Test Range and hidden in an underground bunker. The craft is supposedly still there. Two dead aliens closely resembled humans and about 1.5 meters in height, with large baldheads, with five fingered extremities. The preliminary autopsy of the bodies was done on location and then the bodies were transported to in an underground area west of Moscow. The disk had been circling the military base at a low altitude when it was shot down.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Anton Anfalov, Ukraine."

Points to consider:

I know that Anton Anfalov had searched the Russian UFO litterature of any kind to list such cases, but this does not mean that he considers them authentic. There is no particular reason to think this one is.
