Ok guys start explaining, im respectively waiting and listening. :) 150 Marines Witness AD INEXPLORATA
Strange Object
From Brian Vike, Director
HBCC UFO Research
7-15-4
Camp Geiger, North Carolina
Date: December 1985
Time: 5:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 150
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Ellipsoid or Disk
Full Description of event/sighting: Five platoons of young Marines were in formation in the chilly morning at Camp Geiger. We were all facing east and answering muster and getting ready to march to the chow hall, (which was about a mile away).
From the south an object came in front of the five platoons. It was ellipsoid and it was about the size of a thimble, if you stretched your hand out in front of you face. As it raced along just above the tree tops (that were about 500 yards away) it left a trail of "sparks" that would dissipate quickly. In relation to the trees the object seemed to be about a mile away from the trees.
When the object was almost in front of my platoon, (we were the 5th platoon to the extreme left of the five), it shot up at great velocity at a 45% angle. From the point it shot up a sphere of luminous gas, (or something) expanded to fill the entire eastern sky. All five platoons let out a collective "WHOHHHH". I'll never forget that. The Platoon Sgt. turned around and looked at it, and we were told to say, it was a satellite experiment.
