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..
