Comet-like 'star' object seen over Eastern Afghanistan

On the evening of the 14th, approximately 2115 local time in an area several miles south of Kabul, Afghanistan I observed a stationary 'star-like' object in the Eastern sky, approximately 80 degrees E. It was a bright white light with a spherical white aura surrounding it, like a comet without a tail. It was the brightest object in the night sky.

I suspected it might be Venus, but couldn't explain the 'aura'. I thought it might be star-light shining through dust in the sky but didn't see any similar effect on any other stars. A thunderstorm was passing Southeast that afternoon/evening into Pakistan as well. I observed it for about 5-10 minutes before going into my room.

When I went to work the next morning I asked my night-shift subordinates if they had seen anything similar in the sky that night, and 1 said they had seen exactly what I described. They said it was there and did not move for a 'long time' and then just disappeared.

I am a US Soldier with 12 years of Aviation experience on rotary wing aircraft, including 550 flight hours. I have observed 1 UFO that I reported here on May 12 2009.

I am located on a FOB with an active airfield of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

I saw a triangular ufo while I was at work at the kabul international airport

I work at the airport in Kabul Afghanistan. I was talking to my mother on my cell phone around midnight on 15 April 2010. I was standing outside in the middle of the infield next to the Radar site. I saw a dark triangular craft floating about 60-80 yards away and about 100 feet above the ground. It was dark and had even darker round type windows, it floated silently and hovered around in an area about 200 feet. I thought at the time that it was a possible unmanned aerial vehicle since the military lives just the other side of the fence.

However, since I was in the Air Force and worked around UAV's for 8 years and the fact that they would not be operating UAV's on or around an active civillian runway, I can only speculate as to what it was.

silver-colored, dot-sized flash-like UFO in Kabul, Afghanistan, around midnight

Well, last night around 1:00 AM I woke up to go to toilet, but when i looked up to sky I saw a bright dot-sized silver-colored flash in the sky moving so fast from about east to south. It did not produce any other lights that could be seen. first I thought it was a comet, but after a bit I found out that it wasn't that. the UFO was bright, fast about the size of a star and did not put a trail behind it.

At the same time, I called my wife and my son to see that, and they saw too. We were scared of its movement !!! and when we told it to the other friends and nighbors in tomorrow of that, they all said they were not awake on that exact time.

No sound. Incredible vertical speed.

During the evening of Dec 31st 2000 I witnessed a clyrindrical object moving slowly against the backdrop of the mountains surrounding Kabul. At the bottom of the cylinder were green and red pulsating lights.

The object moved slowly from left to right for about 5 minuites and then abruptly rose vertically and dissapeared into the clouds at a very fast rate.

Looking at the same view the next morning and judging the distances, I estimate the object was about 100 mtrs long and about 20mtrs high.

I could hear no sounds at the time that made me think that the object was under jet propulsion, indeed, at that time there were no aircraft anywhere near the area.
