i am an airforce pilot. we were conducting night flying around 1900 pakistan standard time. we were operating in circuit (a flying pattern used during flying on the airfield). we were three cobra gunships helicopters in the circuit at that time. it was pitch dark night when something resembling an illumination round of artillery shell appeared .it was fater then a helicopter but slower then an aeroplane.its movements were very well coordinated .it was flying like aan aircraft.the strange thing was that it didnt have any engines and its aerodynamic shape was not like an aircraft but it was flying like an aircraft.it was far superior then us and was capable of making abrubt changes in altitude and direction.we took it initially as an indian RPV spying on us but on a close watch we found that it was very different in shape from an RPV.it was elongated in shape..15 feet in length and it had a dim amber light towards the bottom .i tried to follow it on obtaing permission from the air traffic controller but it dodged me in speed and manouevers and then it turned towards we and passd from a distance of 50 feet.that was the time i was able to have a close watch.the matter was repoeted to all autorities concerned.every body who wasnt flying said that it must be an indian or american RPV.but we six pilots who were airborne at that time knows in our heart that it was nothing close to an aircraft in shape .i dont know what it is.i have haerd a lot abt ufos but seen it for the first time in my life.
