A Russian World War II veteran said he was taken aboard a strange craft—and sent home with a warning that its occupants would have to destroy humanity.Leonid Glushko was a retired teacher and school principal living in southern Russia. One day, while cutting grass for his goats, he noticed a light approaching across the sky. What he described next would stay with him for the rest of his life.Using excerpts from the 2009 interview with Leonid and his wife Valentina, we follow his account of three unfamiliar figures, a journey inside a silver sphere, and the illness that followed his return. Valentina never saw the craft, but she remembered what happened when her husband came home.What do you think happened to Leonid in that field?
