V-shape over Afghanistan. When I was on guard duty from ((deleted)) to ((deleted)) hours, I looked at the northern mountains at my 2 o'clock in the morning and saw how from east to west; he stopped at my 12: 00. 

I ran out of the tower with my NVG (night vision glasses). When I got to the tower, the object was no longer there. I looked closely at the area and noticed that the object was coming out of the turn on the left bank and was heading towards me. The mountains are about 2 miles away, and he was sailing over our advanced Surveillance Base (FOB) in Afghanistan. 

It stopped over our base and turned again, heading north, and sailed west over a small village. Just outside the village, it stopped, and then in a split second flew over the northern mountains. The object was 5 large lights in the shape of the letter V. 

I couldn't see the object, because of the cloud cover, but you can tell that it was one solid object with 5 lights. In addition, it was very large, since it was hovering over the base, I can see that it was larger than the base! 

In a war zone, no military aircraft should fly with its headlights on, and I know all our planes. In addition, when the UFO hovered over the base, it was a windy night with a wind gust of 30 miles. It stopped and started again when it passed.

Summary: V shape formation over Afghanistan While I was on guard duty, from ((deleted)) to ((deleted)) hrs., I looked up to the northern mountains at my 2:00 o’clock I saw a string of lights moving from east to west; it stopped at my 12:00 o’clock. I ran out of the tower with my NVG (night vision goggles). As I got to the outside of the tower the object was gone. I stared in the area and noticed that the object was coming out of a left bank turn heading towards me. The mountains are about 2 miles away, and it floated over our Forward Observation Base (F.O.B.) in Afghanistan. It stopped over our base and it spun around pointing north again it drifted west over a small village. Just past the village, it stopped then it just shot over the northern mountains in a split second. The object was 5 large lights in a V shape formation. I could not see the object, due to the cloud cover, but you can tell that it was one solid object with 5 lights. It was also very large as it hovered over the base, I can see that it was larger then the base! In a war zone no military air craft are to fly with lights on, and I know all of our aircrafts. Also, as the U.F.O was hovering over the base it was a windy night with gust of 30 miles. It had stopped and it started again as it passed.
