A swarm of UFOs that were completely unaffected after being hit by missiles outside of an Afghanistan military base was caught on a jaw-dropping video.
On Friday, ‘The UFOs subeddit‘ – a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations – shared the full 10-minute version of the infamous video.
The video begins with the camera scanning the flat land outside of the military base before zooming up on the distant mountains, where four black dots hovering in the sky can be seen.
A few moments later, the camera captured the mysterious orbs more closely – and it appeared as though they were dripping fuel beneath them.
A short-range missile could then be seen entering the frame from the top right before striking through two of the levitating orbs – seemingly ripping right through them.
The dots appeared to explode after being struck, but the debris seemed to quickly dissipate into the air revealing the orbs were actually unharmed.
Many viewers of the footage initially believed that the peculiar dots were either training targets or flares.
But just as the video time stamp neared the six-minute mark, the camera switched from FLIR – a type of camera that uses thermal imaging to create an infrared image of a scene – to normal vision.
The quick camera switch revealed the orbs as glowing multi-colored dots that rigidly moved in a spatial relationship with each other.
Bright pink, orange, purple and yellow colors pulsated from the orbs as they slowly moved in unison around the sky.
Hundreds of Reddit users took to the comments to share their reactions – many admitting they had seen something similar.
‘Myself and one other saw exactly this in Afghanistan,’ one user wrote. ‘The difference was they shot up into the sky in sequence one after another. We both acknowledged what we saw and agreed we wouldn’t tell anyone else because we’d get laughed at.’
The user then singled out the commenters who believed the dots were flares, noting that when he experienced something similar he initially thought the same thing himself.
‘Four illuminated dots appeared in the sky and moved down in unison, descended slowly,’ he added. ‘They then stopped around 100-150 meters altitude and hovered for a couple minutes, looking like they were moving in small circles.’
‘They then gained elevation faster than anything I’ve ever seen move (literally it was like a streak of light). They disappeared either through cloud cover or the lights were put out.’
‘My eyes were opened to a few things that night and I became a more open minded person,’ he wrote.
