Full Description of event/sighting:
During Desert Storm, my unit was staged in the northern Saudi Arabian desert,
about 50 miles south of the border with Iraq. On at least two occasions,
as I was performing perimeter guard duty in the early morning hours, I was
sitting on the edge of the perimeter, scanning the area to my front, when I
suddenly had the feeling that something was over me.
I looked back over my shoulder, and
saw what appeared to be 5 lights, almost identical to the brightness of stars,
in the shape of a V flying above me. It was a moonless night, but in that
part of the desert, starlight shone brightly, and whatever this thing was
appeared out of no where. What struck me as strange is that it made no sound at
all, but it looked like five stars moving slowly over my unit.
I kept watching as this thing passed
over my unit, and then moved beyond me and slowly out of sight. As it
passed over, all that could be heard, was the faint sound of a rush of air,
like a low wind blowing.
I have no way of judging the size of
this object, as I could make out no shape of an object, only V shaped
lights, but compared to the size of a Boeing 747, a plane of that size to have
lights spread to those dimensions, would only possibly be 100 feet off the
ground to be that size.
Within five minutes, this cluster of
V-shaped lights flew silently over again. Twice in one night.
What was surprising in this, I was
not the only person in my unit that saw this thing. In fact, nearly every
person in my section at some time or another saw this cluster of lights
silently flying over our site.
I happened to see it again on a
separate night of guard duty, only this time, I also had a set of night vision
goggles with me. The thing flew over again, and I tried my best to train
my goggles on it, but the only thing I could make out were the five lights, no
form or outline of the object could be made out.
I recall reading accounts of the
Fort Stockton flying boomerang sightings in Texas, as well as the infamous
"Phoenix Lights" sightings in 1997, and descriptions of both of these
sightings, sound very similar to what the Soldiers in my unit witnessed during
Desert Storm in 1991.
I am still serving in the US Army,
so I withhold my name and address, but wanted to share this with you.
Thank you to the witness for the
report.
