While on post awaiting relief, I witnessed a boomarang shaped formation fly from the north to southeast. This was a very peculiar sighting because Coalition fighters were in the area, flying sorties, and seemed to scatter away as the object approached Ramadi. It flew low (10,000-15,000ft), made no sound at all, and sped up and slowed down frequently. At first I decided it was a fighter formation. So I waited for the sound. It never came.

My relief, walking up, saw me looking up and asked what I was looking at, he looked up and said "oh... One of ours?", I said,"I dunno? It isn't making any noise". Then I lost sight of it over a building.

I briefed my relief of what took place on my shift, what to expect that night, and special orders from our CO. I started walking back to my rack when I noticed the object had stopped shortly after it left our sight. I hovered in the distance. As I watched, I noticed one of the 3 lights on the right move in and out of the formation repeatedly. I stood there scratching my head.

I got angry for not being able to figure out what it was and said, "what the F%$k is that?" My relief, now on guard, walked over, looked up and said, "huh, thats so friggin wierd". As he said that it started moving east fast. Then it slowed almost to a stop, and shot off.

I realized that both me and my buddy were staring at a black sky with our mouths open. I shook myself out of whatever trance I was in, looked at my buddy, who was still staring, and tapped his shoulder. He jumped a little and looked back at me. We said nothing except a mutual,"huh", and parted.

I can't explain what it was. I have been out here on 2 occassions, and never witnessed anything remotely like it. After it disappeared, I just walked away without a word or second thought till later. My buddy vaugely remembers what happened. I find that very disturbing…
