Early 1970s-Sinop, Turkey.

There were night light shows in the mountains on the Northern coast of Turkey. White balls of light "floated" in the air. 

Sometimes a large "ball," as I call it, would rise, and a smaller one would spin around it. Others went up and down the mountains and just sat there. Usually that's all they did-just sit there.

Sometimes they jumped over each other, but they never left the mountain peaks or approached the base. 

One night, while working the night shift, I had to go to a remote part of the base to another building. While I was waiting for permission to enter the building, a large "ball" appeared with its smaller companion spinning around it. 

I told the policeman in the guard's booth, who just smiled and said:

"Yes, they were very busy tonight."

No one ever talked about them, and my captain didn't want to hear about it. They usually painted mountain peaks like Christmas lights. These things never did anything and just sat there until dawn, when daylight faded their light. They were all over Vietnam, too. 

Call soldiers who have been to remote areas of the world, Turkey, Vietnam, Korea, Alaska, etc.You won't believe some of the stories. I know a marine veteran who has photos. No name ATT.

Summary:  Early 1970’s – Sinop, Turkey. In the mountains on the north coast of Turkey we would experience nightly light shows. White sphere shaped balls of light would “pop” up into the air. Sometimes a large “ball”, as I’ll call it, would rise with a smaller one orbiting around it. Others would come up and down out of the mountains and just sit there. Usually that’s all they would do – just sit there. Occasionally they would leap-frog over each other but would never leave the mountain tops or approach the base. One night working the midnight shift, I had to drive to a remote part of the base to another building. As I was waiting for clearance to enter the building the large “ball” came up with it’s smaller companion orbiting around it. I mentioned it to the MP in the guard shack who just smiled and said, “Yeah, they’ve been real busy tonight.” No one ever talked about them and my captain didn’t want to hear of it. They usually would string the mountain tops like christmas lights. These things never did anything and would just sit there till dawn when daylight would fade their light. They were all over Vietnam too. Put out a call to GI’s who have been in remote areas of the world, Turkey, Vietnam, Korea, Alaska etc.. You won’t believe some of the stories. I know a Marine combat veteran who has photos. No name ATT.
