Russian author Aleksey Priyma wrote in a 1997 book, that in Platonovo, region of Oryel - Orel - in Russia, late one night in 1947, Mikhail Zybunovskiy, 7-year-old boy, was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by a soft nudge on his side.
He opened his eyes and saw a tall entity dressed completely in green, with a cap on the head that shone with a weak orange light. This entity looked like a "soldier".
The boy was very frightened and awoke his mother, who saw the entity also. She asked, "Who are you, Why are you here" in a trembling voice. The entity did not respond and stood wordless in the same place. The mother rushed into the children's room, grabbed her daughter and hid her under the blanket. The boy hid under the other blanket. The woman began asking the alien again who he was and how he had entered the house. The alien then made a deep breathing sound and vanished in plain sight.
After that there was a bright flash of light outside the window, like fire and then it vanished.

Platonovo is between Moscow and Kharkov.
Russian author Aleksey K. Priyma wrote a book titled "NLO! Ochevidtsy neopoznannogo" in 1997; which [ar1] calls "UFOs witnesses to the unknown". It was written in Russian and not translated in other languages.
He wrote about 13 books on various "mysteries".
The same witness name appears in the same book with another alleged encounter in 1992 in Shablykino in the same region. He allegedly saw a spherical UFO with numerous window, and a an alien appeared next to him, also looking like a soldier.
Of course, the problem here is that the credibility of the author and stories is totally unknown to me. Nothing like a primary source, an investigation, or any corroboration, seem to be available.
