“I was in the Persian Gulf on the now-decommissioned ship USS NASSAU (LHA-4), working mids and performing a weather observation some time between 2-4 AM. I saw multiple lights begin to move through the sky faster than any I’ve ever seen before. Back and forth, almost too fast to track with my eyes (too fast to be an airplane, too fast to be a shooting star).

Then, suddenly, they came to center on the horizon, vibrated for a few seconds, and shot out of eyesight up into the sky. Still, the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.”
