Saw three disks hovering over the desert near our installation. Silent. After several minutes shot straight up and disappeared.

I was a US Army intelligence operator in the Army's USA SOU-23. We were co-located on a USAF site bear Peshawar, Pakistan, with the host unit of the 6937th Intelligence Squadron. We did not share product with the USAF - our "cover" story was that we were an Army Weather detachment there to support the USAF. Our mission was classified. I'm unsure of the exact date in 1969, but it was before the moon shot. I had worked a "swing" shift, and about 1130 PM was sitting on a patio near out barracks with a co-worker (deceased). We noticed out over the desert three bright white discs. Other USAF personnel were also watching them - some had cameras. There was no sound, no disturbance from the objects. Complete silence. After several minutes the object shot straight up and out of sight. Again, no sound. The USAF Commander over the next few days via a localized AFRTS announcement asked that no one mention this. I am fairly sure he had any media (camera film or what counted as video) turned in, and any developing from the "photo lab" collected. Overseas Weekly (a far east version of Stars and Stripes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Weekly ) came to the station, but was denied admittance, and we were told not to speak with anyone while going/coming to work (we had to cross a small road between the base and the operations compound).

Before my roommate passed, we had a short conversation about 20 years ago, and I asked him if he remembered this. He said yes, I wasn't crazy. I posted on the 6937th Comms Group Alumni FB Group several years ago looking for further validation, but no one has ever responded. I wanted someone to get a record of this before it's lost.
