Location: Fort Polk, LA, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

I witnessed this event when I was 17 years old and had just entered the army.

I was awaiting what was called the cattle trucks to transport our company back to the barrackes. I was looking up at the stars as I was standing there and observed what I thought was skylab. A light came across the sky and as it was directly overhead it came to a complete stop.

It sat there for was seemed like a full minute and then it shot directly up and out of sight in a blink of the eye.

It was many years after the experience before I ever spoke of the event. I truly beleive that what I saw was a UFO observing a military installation and am unaware if any of the people that were with me saw the object.

Location: Fort Polk, LA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Emitted other objects

Star sized light that split into two and mimic'd each others movement

On Basic Traning manuvers at Fort Polk, La. in a remote area of the base around between 11:00 PM and 1:00AM.

Two of us were in a bunker built in the side of a hill which enabled us to see for several miles above the tree tops.

We observed what appeared to be a star above the horizon which was moving up and down. We knew this was no street light beacuse it was too high in the air. The light did this movement for several minutes then began moving from side to side. There was no noise but we believe it was too far to hear.

At first we thought it to be a helicopter until it stopped, became brighter, appearing larger then split into two equal size lights approximately an inch apart from our viewpoint which would have made it several yard apart. These two lights began moving up and down in unison for severl minutes then stopped and began moving from side to side in unison.

After several minutes of this they stopped, moved towared each other and became as one bright star again then disappeared.

Since then, I have had two other people tell of similiar sightings from several years apart and different areas.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 75880
Occurred: 1967-11-10 06:00 Local - Approximate

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

This was a UFO sighting by a military formation at Ft Polk, Lousiana in 1967.

I had just ended my advanced infantry training at Fort Polk in November 1967 and was about to be deployed to an infantry unit in Vietnam. Several training companies were in morning formation on our company street just before dawn.

A craft of some sort suddenly appeared at one end of the street above our formations. It was large, more than the width of the 50 foot wide street, but a number of lights on the bottom focused on the troops prevented me from seeing the exact shape of the craft.

It moved like a helicopter slowly down the street about 50-100 feet above us but IT MADE NO SOUND. When it reached the end of the street it just shot away and again made no sound.

No official mention was made of the incident and it was never even discussed.
