1969 film of a crashed saucer supposedly investigated by the Soviet Army is the main attraction here. Unfortunately it plays like the Russian version of "Alien Autopsy". All the declassified Soviet Union U.F.O. data more or less mirrors the United States. Promoting the rantings of fringe believers and offering little in the way of believable facts. Although redundant and too lengthy for the limited material presented, even if the featured crash and autopsy film is nothing but a hoax, "The Secret K.G.B. U.F.O. Files" is entertaining. Although the movie offers way more questions than answers, it should still be of interest to those who believe in extra-terrestials. - MERK

Factual evidence error

I loved this documentary, and there are others about what the Russians were up to in the fields of science and parapsychology and regarding the UFO subject.
Interesting propositions, but in the beginning of the video is an error, so how much can we believe of the rest?? "55 seconds into part one, Roger Moore opens with: "Hello I'm Roger Moore. In 1961 Soviet Cosmonaut Andrei Andropov lifted off in a Soyuz space capsule and spent 45 minutes in orbit" For starters there has never been a Soviet cosmonaut called "Andrei Andropov".
12 April 1961 Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space and completed a single orbit of the Earth in 1hr 48min inside a capsule called Vostok 1.
6 August 1961 another Russian cosmonaut, Gherman Titov flew in orbit for a period of 1day 1hr 18min in a capsule called Vostok 2.
These were the only 2 manned Soviet space flights in 1961, and they both featured the Vostok capsule. Soyuz would not fly for another 6 years..
The first flight of a Soyuz capsule was on 23 April 1967, and ended 1day 2hr 48min later in a tragic crash landing that killed the pilot Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov.
If the very first words of narration in an allegedly "factual" documentary are so very WRONG, it does not bode well for the content that follows."

Too long, but it's good to see Roger Moore active.

Well, It's definitely much more thrilling than the "JFK Assassination Files", also hosted by Roger Moore (The Saint, James Bond). I must admit that I have decided to watch this pseudo-documentary only because I'm a great fan of Roger Moore. Unfortunately he doesn't play in many movies these days, so that was the only possibility to see him. The video is quite engaging but doesn't provide new information, maybe except a new point of view (the KGB point of view). Its disadvantage is that it's too long, it should be much shorter in order to be more fascinating - you can get bored from time to time. For Moore and UFO fans only.
Pathetic UFO movie
ijovica31 March 2006
I didn't see anything so annoying for a long time. This ridiculously unconvincing documentary is an insult to good taste and sane logic. It's shame too see Mr. Moore in a role of insider/spy who reveals stupendous facts about sightings of UFO's across USSR. There is no single reasonable statement or believable document in whole hour-an-a-half-lasting agony. Many times I found laughable similarities with Criswell monologues from Ed Wood movies. Yes - it's that bad! (unfortunately, not of so-bad-it's-good category). Oh yeah, not to forget equally dreadful music. This movie attacks from all directions. Watch only if you're ready for mind-boggling pain-inducing experience. If there are aliens, I hope they never see this s**t.
The truth is in there!

After the recent New York Times story (week of Oct. 13th 2021) on the long lasting effects of microwave attacks on our diplomats. The Secret KGB UFO Files and The Secret KGB Paranormal Files should be watched carefully.
In 1962 our (USA) Embassy in USSR was targeted. In fact the beam was focused directly on the director's office. The withering effects must have done more harm than known at the time.
The worry was that these weapons were sold around the world after the dramatic changes in the USSR. There is little doubt that Vladimir Putin has these weapons, possibly improved versions.
For the careful viewer (try not to fall asleep) there is much more that is now more relevant. Comments by Stanton Friedman are pointed and very interesting. If the content was all hoax I don't think he would have bothered.

Did the USSR crumble out of boredom?

I was expecting to be amused but this was full of jokes of all types throughout. Unfortunately that does not mean this was an interesting video. It was the equivalent of turning a 30" McDonalds commercial into an hour-long video history of hamburgers. It's not simply repetitious; everything is repeated a dozen times. It was like being back in elementary school. Except you don't even actually learn five minutes' worth of knowledge. You hear a ton of questions without their being answered. You're treated to scads of meaningless statements such as, "Experts universally agree that, if an actual craft from outer space crashed on earth, it would deserve close study." They aren't even trying to scam us but just bore us. Poor Roger Moore.
