Whilst serving in the British Army in Northern Ireland, myself and my patrol were waiting for a chopper pick up, however we were told to wait as there had been some sort of delay. Next thing we know there is a huge object coming over our possition, it hung over us for about 3 mins then was chased by 2 air craft, we could follow the chase as the UFO had very bright lights.We were told that we could not make a report and that we were not allowed to talk about this. I have been out of the UK forces for some time now and feel that the time is now right to tell my full story.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.
