In the continuous testimonies that emerge from American soldiers who fought in Iraq claiming to have seen flying or space-like objects, the American platform "OtokK" revealed a new story from some soldiers describing "something amazing" that appeared to be extraterrestrial, seen in Kirkuk in 2011.
The American soldier recounts that during the withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, he and a friend in the army were checking the southeast side of the Kirkuk air base when they saw what looked like a ring of lights spaced evenly resembling an arch in the night sky around 2 a.m. He added, "When I stopped the truck, I asked my friend if he saw what I was seeing. He said: I see something... what do you see? Neither of us wanted to be the first to try to explain what we were seeing."
He explained, "As we sat and watched this thing for about 20 minutes, while I will try to describe what happened during and after those 20 minutes, I do not expect you to believe me. If someone told me what I am going to tell you, I would say, sorry, I don’t believe you. So I won't be upset if you say the same thing to me."
He continued: "The lights we saw were on only one side of the craft. At first, we thought it was a night operation over Kirkuk city, but the lights were steady and spaced evenly, no helicopter could do that anyway. Then we thought of unmanned surveillance drones controlled by computer programs, but we didn’t see drones doing anything perfect while we were there. Then the lights began to move upwards. When we first saw the lights, they were about three hundred feet above the city."
He added: "When the craft moved upward, we could see that it was round, and in the center of the craft, there was a round, glowing circle of turquoise/blue/dark green color. This light was steady and did not flicker. It seemed that the craft was bouncing in the air a little as it moved upward, then stopped and bounced again. It did this three or four times. Then it stopped at about 1,000 feet, and we could see how the top of the craft blocked the stars as it moved. We did not see any markings; the craft appeared black... except for the lights and the glowing disk/circle at the bottom of the craft and in its center. After the movement and bouncing stopped, it hovered while the lights slowly rotated on the side of the craft."
He noted, "Then it moved faster than anything I have ever seen before. I mean, the craft shot straight up and a little to the north, and as it seemed to move into space, it became very fast and flew like a meteor going up straight. The further it got at that point, the brighter it appeared like the brightest star in the sky. The last thing we saw was like an entrance that opened, and the craft entered and the door closed."
He mentioned that "after it disappeared, we went to the air traffic control tower to ask if they had recorded any activity above the city. The answer was no. We told the tower staff what we saw. Given our close relationship with the tower staff, we were taken seriously. Then we left the tower and headed to the early warning radar and spoke to the staff there. Again, nothing was recorded or seen above the city. We didn’t tell the unit why we wanted to see the tapes."
He explained, "The hardest thing to believe is its size. It seemed to be at least five miles in diameter," adding that "I know what I said sounds far-fetched; I even believe that myself. But I know what I saw, and my friend in combat with me saw the exact same thing. The size and speed were impressive. Humanity does not have the technology to do what we saw. And when it comes to sharing this information, we do not know what we saw. It was a very strange night. That was the only time we saw anything."
