Full Description & Details

I was then a sgt. in the Marines. We were on a Med. deployment and we made a landing on Crete as a training exercise. I had to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak. I saw someone from my squad sitting on a log and went over to talk to him. I don't remember his name but his wife was 9 months pregnent and overdue so he couldn't sleep. I kept him company and while we were b/s-ing we saw a light moving along the sky above. We were talking that it must be a satellite because it was moving fast. Then we noticed it changed directions. It was zig-zaging back and forth. It would come to a dead stop and take off in another direction. After several minutes we saw two jets approach it. We had an aircraft carrier in our battle group and we thought that they had picked it up on radar or even seen it. When they approached the light it came to a dead stop and then made a right angle turn. It turned again and followed one of the jets and then would stop and either follow one of the jets or pull ahead of them at a much higher rate of speed. This continued on in this manner for several minutes. I called for our Lt. to come out and check out the UFO. But he just hollered back to get back to sleep, we must be drunk, we had to get up early in the morning. [for the recorord we both were stone sober] Finally, it came to a sudden stop, floating downward like a fall leaf. It stopped, shot straight up at a high speed, then a small, bright burst of light, blipped out.

I don't know of any craft that ever made dead stops or right angle turns or sudden reverses that I saw back in 1969.
