Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Sinop (Turkey), , Turkey

Shape: Orb

Round lighted sphere being orbited by a smaller lighted sphere.

While in the Army an MP and I observered two spheres that rose from the mountain tops in northern Turkey. The larger one remained stationary while a smaller sphere orbited quickly aroung it. This was at the U.S. Army base at Sinop, Turkey. This happened one time but on other occassions we would see the mountain range south of the base ringed with small lights that would remain till after dawn. We checked maps and with local pilots who confirmed that no one lived in these mountains and the terrain was far too high and rough for any roads.

I have been interviewed by Dr. Greer at my home and he video taped my remarks. I was alwa ys uncomfortable with this sighting but nothing ever happened and no harm done.
