Pre-sighting of March 1996 Blue Oval near Jubail Saudi ArabiaOne Brilliant white/blue, Oval/orb/sphere passed over our heads, best guess would be 2000ft AGL. It did not make any sound and moved slow, while over us. Best guess would be 50mph or less, as it moved away from us, it gained altitude and speed, it then did a most unsual maneuver, then shot of in a straight line into space. I am posting this because it seems that a similiar UFO was sighted in the general vicinity in March of 1996 and I would like to verify the unusual way the UFO left the area as described in that report and see if it matches what we observed.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
