While on an op in afghanistan my battle buddy and I were witness to a bright orange light that flew across the sky and stopped directly over our location .It hovered there for about a minute then flew up and away from our location.I never told anybody, for fear of discrimination, but with the mission to mars, I feel it is my duty to report my sighting, so the people going have the best chance of survival.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD))
