Stationed in Iraq 2003 saw a small slow moving hovering fireball. looked like a small 30 foot orange sun.
I was on guard station in small building in Iraq in 2003. From the Samarra CMOC I looked out toward the Tigris river and saw what looked like a fire ball. It looked exactly like some of these fireball orange pictures of the sun but was maybe anywhere from 30-60 foot in diameter. A solid sphere of fire. It raised up from what looked to be the Tigris river and moved very slowly and smoothly. It hovered maybe 50 foot off the ground then started moving parallel to the ground still very slow and smooth. Moved maybe 100 foot then started on an upward direction. It then almost vanished but looked like it took off straight up at a very high speed. I have been all over the world and was in the Army for 7 years. I have never seen anything like this ever in my life. I reported it and it was quickly dismissed. But a team, including myself, got put together within 20 mins and we went out to investigate. Nothing was found but the vegetation was very dense with very tall grass, probably about 10-15 feet. Never got an explanation and never seen anything like this again. This was around September 2003 in Samarra Iraq. I was on the front gate guard post around 10-11pm local time. It was very quiet with no one around anywhere since there was a curfew
I am unaware of any type of ordinance that can do that as slow and smooth the object moved, maybe no more then 5-10 mph and very smooth. No noise was heard from it. I was within 100-300 feet or so of it. If you look at a map of Samarra and find the police station next to the cemetery, just over the main bridge and into the main city. I was looking from the front gate at about the front gates 10 o clock direction and toward the Tigris river. I would be willing to discuss this and possibly be willing to disclose my identity. Would really love to know what I saw since it's bugged me ever since.

I witnessed a UFO while on 2004 Iraq deployment that greatly resembled the Phoenix Lights.
1) It was during a night mission and I was with my convoy of US Army Hmmwv(s) waiting to receive the go-ahead to start back to our FOB.
2)It was dark and we were waiting for orders. I happened to look up in the night sky and saw these lights appear.
3) At first I was baffled. I figured it could be anti-aircraft flares but to my knowledge we didn't have any aircraft covering our movements. I was familiar w the Phoenix Lights case and realized that what I was seeing strongly resembled what I had seen on tv about the Phoenix case.
4) One after the other, these lights appeared in sequence and progressed like an inchworm across the sky in a straight line. I thought it must be flares but from what I could tell none of them descended towards the ground. They were bright like car headlights and just hung there for a about a minute until, one after the other sequentially they disappeared. It lasted for about 5-10 minutes. No sound as it progressed which made me wonder bc I think we would have heard an aircraft at that range. It wasn't close but wasn't too far away either.
5) My first reaction was to draw the attention of a few others to it but they didnt think it was a big deal because we were on a mission and needed to focus. It made me wish I had a camera on me but I didn't.
I tried asking some of my old army buddies if they remembered the event years later but no one seemed too recall. :(
6) Eventually it inched it's way across the sky, parallel to our position until it was out of sight.

UFO Seen, animal mutliations observed afterward
During 2004 my military unit was deployed to Baqubah, Iraq to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. The FOB (forward operating base) that we were stationed in had a large area directly to the west of the FOB that contained old demolished houses that used to house the military personnel when Iraqi Army used to operate out of the area (FOB known as FOB Gabe).
This housing zone had already been picked clean of all metal and anything remotely of value.
I was on site security at the time of 2315 when I first noticed a bluish light hovering above the old housing area. At first I believed it may have been a flare or an illumination round of some sort. I did not hear a report (from launch or ignition) that would accompany an illumination flare or round.
I attempted to call in the information to my sergeant of the guard, but neither my handheld radio, nor the military radio which utilizes frequency hop FM modulation was able to make a connection to either my SOG nor the battalion radio center.
The light did not flicker as a star would; it did not move - it just hung there, silent.
After between 10-15 minutes the light shot directly up into the sky and disappeared.
I placed this information in my report once my security shift ended at 0000.
When daylight broke we went into the old housing area as a platoon and explored to ensure it was not a flare or other device being utilized by anti-US forces for communications.
During our exploration of the area we found exactly 37 dog corpses. All dogs were female and all the dogs were mutilated in an extremely similar manner: A small incision was placed into the stomach of the canine, but all of the internal organs of the dogs were removed.
The official report was that it was Iraqi citizens utilizing dogs for food, but I don't know of any way to remove all organs from an incision that couldn't be more than 2 inches in length.
It is my belief that the light that I witnessed was a UFO. The old housing area was known to be full of dogs (as is pretty much any city area in Iraq). I believe this event had the objective of obtaining dog organs for some purpose unknown.
Additionally, there was never a single dog heard or seen in that old housing area for the rest of our deployment.
The local Iraqi's claimed it is a standard practice of a Djinn, which is a demon creature much like the fable of the Genie.
My battalion commander interviewed me intensely based on my report and stated that I would be better off to not relay my "conspiracy theories" to anyone as it may have a very detrimental effect on my military career. I have kept quiet until today.

Post IED strike in Iraq north of Euphrates river.
In 2004 while serving in the Marine Corps on my first combat deployment to Iraq, one of our platoons was ambushed and my platoon was charged with cordoning off the town. At about 0300, my LAV25 was backed up to a dirt road that lead to a power plant, I observed a light that sat on the horizon for a while. After random observation, the light began to rise. It rose to about 200 ft above the horizon I saw, then moved to my right by 1000 ft, up a few hunter feet then back to the left. During this time I had my SAW gunner and vehicle gunner look through the same NVGs I was looking through an none of us could see this object with NVGs but could with the naked eye. They didn't pay any mind to the object but I was intrigued by it because NO military helicopters were in the battle space at the time, not even dust off medivac helicopters. Even if they were, they certainly would NOT fly with this bright light showing. But after about or so minutes, it just disappeared.

Flash and lost time
I was contacted by aliens.1 At least that is what I believe.1 I know most people won1t believe me, so I don1t tell them.1 I1ll never be sure what is and that bothers me greatly.1 I know I1ll never have an answer I trust.1 I will continue, in my paranoia, to try and understand.
I was in Iraq in late 2004 on LSA Anaconda.1 This was shortly before a lunar eclipse that turned the moon red.1 I was awoken in the middle of the night by a huge thunderstorm and had to use the restroom.1 I pulled on my body armor and put on my Kevlar helmet and headed outside to the porta-potty.
I can remember that the storm was huge, but was still to the south.1 There was a heavy static in the air and there was absolutely no wind.1 It was an open space between our building and the porta-potty.1 Tall trees were about 100 yards to the west.1 There was another short building nearby and a small shower facility we had built.1 If I remember right, there was a pole and a light over the porta-potties.
The last thing I remember before losing some time was a huge flash and a boom.
Then I woke up on the ground.1 I don1t know how long I was there.1 It could have been a second it could have been an hour or more.1 I soiled my uniform.1 My first thought, of all things, was that I hoped no one had seen.1 I struggle to remember if I went back to my room first to change or if I went back to the showers to clean up.1 I threw my uniform away.
The hot water in the shower hurt on the sides of my head.1 Afterwards, in the mirror, I noticed that I had two burns on each side by my ears and underneath my chin.1 Right where all the metal parts on the old helmet straps are.1 To this day, I still grow much less hair at this spots in my sideburns and not at all where the burn under my chin was.
The next day I checked to see if there were any mortar attacks that night.1 There were not.1 I immediately drew the conclusion that I was struck by lightning.1 I was an ambitious second lieutenant and was afraid that if I told anyone I would be sent back home for some sort of testing.1 I didn1t want to leave Iraq.1 I had worked so hard to train for this part of my life.
My burns healed, my uniform was gone and I told no one.1 Aside from a small stain amongst a sea of them on my body armor, there was no evidence that anything had ever happened to me.
If this was a lightning strike, then it wasn1t the first time.1 According to the National Lightning Safety Institute the odds of being struck by lightning (in the US, where their data is from), is 1 to 280,0001 and I1ve been hit twice.1 The first strike hit a power pole next to a window I was sitting just inside of.1 It left a burn on my hand that was next to the window frame and on my foot that was on the floor. My guess is the foot was some sort of exit-wound.1 My father witnessed this incident.
The way I see it is that there are four distinct possibilities for my incident in Iraq:1 I was struck by lightning; there was an undocumented mortar; nothing happened at all and it was some sort of vivid hallucination; or it was some sort of alien encounter.1 We can eliminate the mortar because of all the state-of-the-art equipment that would have detected it and we were so far in the center of the installation.1 We can also eliminate nothing happening because I couldn1t hallucinate the small burns.
Of the two remaining items I completely understand that lightning makes the most sense.1 Even though my disease of schizoaffective disorder was non-existent or very young and minor at the time, it could have been a source for my delusional and irrational beliefs.1 There is some evidence that points away from lightning though.1 If I was hit hard enough to super-heat the metal on my helmet enough to burn me and to knock me, maybe only for a moment, unconscious then shouldn1t it have hurt me worse?1 Shouldn1t there have been an exit-wound like my comparably minor strike many years before?1 Shouldn1t the storm have been overhead and not off to the south?
I1m left with the remaining item that it was some sort of alien incident.1 I have no vague memories, no dreams about it.1 I only have a feeling, no, a firmly held belief.1 I have no idea if I was taken or not.1 There is no big reveal here, I didn1t see little grey men or any sort of craft.1 But I do believe that something in me changed that night.1 This may have been the moment that my schizophrenic symptoms began.1 The Dragon, my schizophrenic entity, hadn1t shown up yet.1 I was only an eccentric.
And this uncertainty is what really frustrates me.1 I can remember before schizophrenia had a grip on me.1 I can remember when my thoughts were organized and I could trust them.1 I can remember before I invented entire memories.1 I can never know anything for certain anymore.1 I feel like this is what is really cruel about a late-onset condition like mine.1 I can remember how I used to be, back when I had a vivid imagination but an understanding of what is and is not true.
Could an alien encounter made me schizophrenic?
I don1t know if I had an alien encounter.1 But I believe that I did.
I would greatly welcome the opportunity to discuss with an expert if there have been similar encounters - if there are cases of 'madness' developing after an event?

After coming back from Partol in Fallujah, Iraq, Platton of Marines watches objects in sky through Night Vision Goggles.
I was with 2/6 Marines conducting combat operations in support of OIF in 2008. Upon returning to Camp Baharia after our patrol around 2300, I took a shower and went to my hooch. After hearing many Marines outside I stepped out to see what was going on. There were 15+ Marines outside with Night Vision Goggles telling me to go get mine and look at what they were seeing. I went and grabbed my NVG's and I saw 4-5 objects in the sky that were pulling some incredible maneuvers. At first I knew they were not stars, satellites, planets, aircraft etc... I am not an expert but I do have enough knowledge about aviation etc... to know that these were like nothing I've ever seen. The only thing I could think of were maybe they were bugs reflecting off our NVG's. If they were bugs, why did 15+ Marines who were standing in different locations all see the same 4-5 object for 1+ hours? That leads me to believe it was not insects. These objects were performing 90 degree maneuvers and zig sagging all over the sky. They would come together, get brighter, then pull away. At the end of the encounter all the objects came together, got brighter, then sped away as 1 object. A fellow Marine took a picture through his NVG's. The picture does not do the encounter justice but can show the objects we did see in still motion. I can provide many witnesses to this event and would be happy to talk to a MUFON investigator about our encounter.

Craft/Light able to penetrate through sand-storm
This event took place within the first 3 months of being forward deployed to Al Asad Air Base Iraq, the closest Major city in Proximity to the Air Base, was Ramadi. After my unit's arrival in Iraq we were forced to split the platoon into port and starboard - Port side staying aboard Al Asad - Starboard side being sent to the middle of know-where Shadow Range North(which I was included in the group being sent to Shadow Range North of course). Shadow Range North was a training site/range for incoming units, giving the opportunity to sharpen any TTP's that needed improvement. On the morning of the event(Feb 2008) @ appox. 03:00 I started to witnessing a sand storm pushing into our location from the south, it appeared at this time to be a massive wall of darkness(lack of a better word)heading straight towards my location(shadow range north). If you've never payed witness to a sand storm they can be quite intimidating to say the least. Thus I contacted the COC(command observation center)to notify them that air medivac would soon go too ground transport only. Helicopters/fixed wing aircraft cannot fly in this type of weather, so it's important to let the command center know of this in-case it's not being observed via their sensors. This was the only radio transmission I personally made to the COC during my 12 hours of duty(w/ only 1 other unsuccessful attempt made at about 04:30). 04:15 - was about the time I decided to do my "rounds" by walking a full circle around the entire patrol base before writing in the log book that I had done so; while doing my rounds I noticed a light emulating from the north headed in the south westerly direction running parallel with the patrol base, and when I say light emulating - I mean just that, anyone whose observed a sand storm of this magnitude will know that even sunlight struggles to penetrate through the density of an Iraqi sand storm. The object in question had no such struggles; it appeared to be hovering 10-20ft above the ground, moving at an extremely slow pace, so slow in-fact any conventional aircraft would likely fall out of the sky. This obviously grabbed my attention, because i'd never witnessed anything even remotely close to what I was currently observing. If my memory serves me correctly I remember said object to be roughly less than a football field away from my observing location; the object never came any closer. I did in-fact attempt to contact the COC to inform them of my observation, but at this time the black gear radio I was equipped with was inoperable. I observed the object for roughly 10-15 minutes, and it vanished just as quickly as it appeared. Once I arrived back at the duty hut I informed the NCO(non-commissioned officer)in charge of all duty personnel currently, of what I had just observed. He appeared to be moved by my account but also seemed to be holding back - as if he'd observed something similar but was reluctant to speak about it. We did in-fact log this occurrence in the duty log-book, but chose not too contact the COC because we were obviously in fear of it effecting our military careers and credibility. I will also mention, one more weird phenomena while observing said object; moments prior to noticing the light - it was as if something eliminated all background noise(s). As if the object was creating a noise cancelling vacuum of sorts, temporarily while in the presence of said light/object. I'm now in my early 30's and still have no clue/idea or theory to what I observed in the early morning hours of February 2008.

UFO Iraq 2008
My experience was in Iraq, early summer 2008 en route from Mosul to Tal’Afar. I was a UH-60 crew chief in the U.S. Army. Just past the mountainous ridgeline in the desert, we were about 10 min from landing. I sat right seat, one of my first times on mission flying right seat. NVG as well, about 12 midnight. I looked out over the ridgeline to the north in the distance and noticed a sphere, like a perfect sphere, no lights or anything. I was a fresh journeyman ce so I knew cosmetic blemishes and operational defects and all. I tilted the goggles to offset any reference points, still there. Shook my head left and right with the limited 20 degree view, still there. I thought I’d say something to my pilot at the time that I thought I saw a ufo, as soon as I said that that, it amended its parallel flight path from us, and shot off to the northwest much faster than the 130 knots it was traveling. That was something I’ll never forget roughly 36.2896 42.6247.

I was in the army as a equipment operator and I helped dig up and transport a stargate is the only way I can describe it.
I was part if a team that uncovered and transported a star-gate. That is the only way to describe it. My unit found it by accident close to Mosul. We were rebuilding a road called Atlanta that connected to msr Tampa . With a D-7 dozer in a farmers field. We thought it was a bomb at first but EOD cleared it. Special forces guys came and had us dig the structure up which was shinny metal with writing that looked like what I think is Egyptian. But I would call them check marks that were bunch together. We transported it to fob diamond back and that was the last I saw it.

Equally spaced crafts blink twice all at the same time.
I was on COB Speicher, Tikrit Iraq sitting outside. In an instant I observed a straight line of lights, evenly spaced, flashed 2 times at the same time. Like they were Christmas lights being switched on and off. They seemed to arc the curvature of the earth like a line of lights wrapped around a ball.

Military sighting of dozens of UFOs via multiple infrared cameras.
I was with an US Army infantry team in Southern Iraq at the time. We were on mission, sitting stationary in 3 humvees near the Iraq/Iran border, watching for mortar fire.
After about 30 minutes of sitting in place in total blackout, the lead humvee gunner, Specialist Henry Merrill spotted one glowing, pulsating circular object hovering close to a mile away at about 45 degrees from horizon. The object then began to sway, almost like a slow dance before it started to seperate into dozens of different but similar objects. All objects continued to sway in unison as the seperation continued to fill the sky over a period of 30 minutes. Rhe movements were all similar, literally had the feeling of an aerial slow dance. Moving closer amd further away, spinning, almost seeming to chamge shape, all simultaneously. The objects then stopped, rapidly got in-line back to the 45 degree inclination before desending below the horizon.
When I first noticed the object my first thought was that it was either a star or a distant helicopter. That thought only lasted about a minute before I realized it was neither based on the movement and the fact that the objects were ONLY visible through infrared.
At first I felt worried that nobody knew what the original aircraft was. Once it started seperating, I became less worried the object was hostile and just became puzzled. The feeling of worry was rekindled when the objects got in line because this was so different from the previous movements and seemed almost hostile, like an attack formation. Once the objects decended, we all decided to end the mission early and RTB.

one solid light chased by multiple flashing smaller lights
My name is *(Wit's name deleted--CMS/sg). I recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. While stationed at COS Garry Owen, just outside of the city of Al Amarah, I witnessed a UFO event that my friends and I could not explain away.
It happened late at night, close to 11 or midnight local time. We were all sitting outside of our living trailer enjoying the coolest part of the day and listening to music. We had a cloud ceiling that night and no stars or moon were visible. Usually a clear night meant we would be running for shelter due to the fact that insurgents liked to fire rockets and mortars at us on those evenings. So typically cloudy evenings would mean that we would be able to get some sleep or enjoy some time outside with our comrades without wearing our body armor.
My attention was drawn to a single round light in the sky. It stood out like a sore thumb due to the fact that there were no stars or moon out and that our aircraft (Apaches, Blackhawks, and Chinooks) were not taking off or landing. Besides, our aircraft fly lights out at night so I knew it wasn't us. I pointed it out to my friend Christopher Marko and he too noted the strange light. We watched it for a while and made a note that it was flying in a manner that was highly unusual. It seemed to be moving in all directions without any concern for the physics of flight that I have ever seen. It did strange right to left movements, looping maneuvers, and traveling in different paths.
My driver, **(Name deleted--CMS/sg), went inside and got his camera and attempted to film the object. It did not appear to show up in the view finder but he kept recording anyway. Before he got the camera out, two smaller lights showed up and were chasing the original light. These lights moved very fast and began an amazing display of flickering, strobing, and multiplying. This display lasted at least 5 minutes before all of the lights disappeared. Marko and I were amazed by what we saw and really were at a loss for an explanation. We watched the film on his camera but it didn't show up on it's display screen. He went inside to go to bed but I stayed up to see if they came back. Sure enough, about 10 minutes later they came back at the same spot. They did very similar maneuvers and chased the single light again. This time I ran after them as far as I could before my progress was stopped by our T-walls. They were low enough to be under the cloud ceiling but I could not make out the shape or what they were. After the disappeared for the second time, I heard multiple helicopters spool up and take off from our base. I am sure that my group of people outside could not have been the only ones to have witnessed this event.
I told this story to all of my close friends and family when I got back home but was met with lukewarm reception. They did not ask any questions or say much at all. I don't think they wanted to upset me or hurt my feelings by saying that they did not believe me. I just happened to be going through all of the pictures that my friends and I took in country and came across the two video files that we shot that night. I realized that I had never watched them on my computer or a big screen before so I decided to do just that. We did, in fact, capture quite a bit of footage. I am attaching the video file for you to review. I am hoping that you all can enhance the video quality and examine the phenomenon as well. I know that they were not flares from a helicopter or aircraft because those start in a single point and fan out away from the craft. They were happening all over the sky in random appearances, and reappeared a short time later. I know for a fact that we hold total air superiority in country so anything that is in the sky is ours so I have two theories. It is either a UFO or some high speed new craft that I am not aware of.
I had to break the film up into two files because it was over the 25mb limit of my email. I do have an original copy in its entirety. In the first part you will notice the flickering lights and the randomness and vast scale on which they appear. I don't have any advanced video software but did view it with the contrast and brightness on high and you can see the objects behavior more clearly. It's pretty wild. In the second part Marko was moving around and caught our porch light, T-walls, and our trailer for a brief moment. It was unintentional and that light was not what we were watching.

Stationary, almost flare like but brighter object followed by
At a unspecified location in northern Iraq I noticed a light that at a glance you would think is a flare. It was bright enough and close enough to keep my attention after first noticing it. It was slightly brighter then a flare and didn't have the orange associated with a flare. What also made me notice was it was above a populated area where no known activities where happening or would need a flare due to city lights. The object stayed stationary for maybe 10 seconds, emitting a white light. Almost like if you put a standard household light bulb in the air. The light went out for a period of 5-8 seconds then came back on. Another 5-8 seconds later it dimmed to the brightness of what I can best describe as the smallest star you could see in the sky. When it did that it began to move horizontally almost in a "s" pattern to the south. Varying in speed throughout its movement. I lost sight of it due to how fair it was and haven't seen it since.
Not sure what it was, I have a background in military and unmanned aviation.

Observed like strong headlights, but no object that shot 3 light beams which flew straight that turned upwards
I was standing in front of dining area talking to my wife on the phone. I noticed a light gliding across the horizon. At first it looked like a helicopter but I noticed that there were no body of aircraft, only the light. It shot 3 wide light beams that flew forward than upwards total length of perhaps several hundred feet. Then it continued on it's path and I lost the sight of it. I was stunned and excited at the same time.

I work in southern Iraq. I am assigned to a small camp there as support for various Exxon Management personnel. First of all let me tell you I am a sceptic for any of this but open minded. I have a an extreme level of competency and common sense. I am not easily fooled.
I I don't remember exact dates, but it was about this time last year. I walked out of my modular building to got to dinner. It was dark out. when I turned to lock the door I looked up to the west and noticed a bright object headed right towards us. It was up about 25-30 degree above horizon. There were no visible clouds in the sky. there were NO planes I could here and NO plane lights visible in the sky.
The object immediately didn't feel right- I had a sense of dread in my gut because it was not anything recognizable. It was like a rolling white cloud with a bright white headlight beaming directly ahead of it. But it produced it's own white cloud that was in front and around it rolling or billowing over as the object flew towards our camp.
I did no see any tail or wings. I did not see any tail or wing lights. This is part of why it seemed unearthly. It was actually frightening because it was headed down towards us about 1-2 miles away.
It was very distinct- meaning not fuzzy or unclear. it was clear and obvious but not normal.
I was actually kind of afraid and began running to get help when another person walked by me outside and I said "look at that thing up there in the Sky" He is a engineer and he looked and said "what is that"? Just then the light went out but the cloud that was rolling in the sky kept moving and turned south. So now I was witnessing a white cloud about the size of a large aircraft moving across the sky with nothing around it. We could see the cloud do to to regional surface lighting. This cloud was about 500-1000 ft Above the ground moving about 100 miles hr southwards. There was NO WIND and no other clouds in the vicinity. It was not normal.
I was shaken. I consider myself a smart guy, but this was unworldly. I told someone at dinner- a retired military guy here. I said "either i just saw a UFO, or the USA has some extremely advanced cloaking technology for their drones. He said nothing .

I prefer to speak to someone and explain vs placing it on here, for now. Thank you.

See the video
It looked like a Torch facing east of the city in a straight line same speed all the way. The front of a reddish golden glowing like car beam light, but round. No wings, no sound, nothing like i have ever seen before. A torch light flying?!
Crazy!
I have edited this video to enhance what it was. But I have also Uploaded the raw footage.
Good luck guys and thank you for your hard work!
