@Cheifslappuho12 Come on these were US Marines. I am not trying to make you mad but tell me what waether can cause this effect?

[Cheifslappuho12]

@TheSeer101 my point is everybody overreacts about it so much UFO has become synnonymous with aliens. it could be something to do with the weather or something in the atmosphere.

[TheSeer101]

@Cheifslappuho12 Just so you understand, UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. So technically anything seen in the sky that is not known is a UFO.

[Cheifslappuho12]

I love how every time somebody sees something in the sky they haven't ever seen they automatically think it's a UFO because that leads stupid people to believe they mean aliens.

the terrorists launched missiles and when the marines looked the froze to try and hide

@RobertGST1 I saw about 7 of these light pillars myself, in just one night during my deployment from oct-07 to July-08. No they were not stars, def not moonlight, and DIDNT touch the ground. in fact, it SEEMED as if the lights were descending from the sky when I first saw them (the light intesity was higher at the lower portion of the pillar) until I realized they were static and my eyes gave me the impression of movement when that was not the case.

@RobertGST1 you're a condescending a-hole, I saw those things myself in 2007. Instead of implying that Marines can't differentiate a star from whatever it was (I don't think it was a ufo, natural phenom IMO) why don't you give valuable insight instead of your sorry ass comment.

@7miledog

first off we're in 2008 (when this was allegedly filmed) so no oil rigs by saddam, he was already caught AND executed. 2nd, they're in the sky NOT touching the ground. and finally, the way most film night time in iraq(Ithe troops) is by using a standard camera, holding the lens up to the night vision goggles and recording that way. It beats buying a Sony w/ Nightvision but issues like focus blur can and does happen as cameras will try to auto focus, forcing him to adjust the focus.

I saw the same thing when I was in iraq, could not see them without night vision though..

Why didn't they shoot them, there could be a strong evidence of extraterresterial intelligence.
