re: CIA document states "Russian soldiers were turned to STONE" after Alien attack

Since the document does exist and is on the CIA's unclassified docs server then that means the CIA took the reported incident seriously enough to look into it.

No it does not mean that. The CIA has plenty of people with the job of translating foreign newspapers and reporting whatever was published.

Once translated into English, the person responsible for evaluating the content immediately recognized it was useless and declassified it.

When did you become a CIA expert?

There are several references in the document to CIA reps saying if the incident is true (That means they didn't know whether the incident was false and useless) then this case "makes one's blood freeze" and "is an extremely menacing case".

That doesn't sound like the CIA decided the information was false and useless.
