With Nato forces withdrawing from the badlands of Afghanistan, the country's people need all the help they can get to keep extremists from once again seizing power.

But it seems a new intervention has come from an unlikely source... outer space.

U.S. Marines captured this incredible footage of what looks like a UFO hovering over a Taliban encampment - then blowing it to kingdom come.

Pinging the unidentified aerial phenomena list (ufo) ..

May 8, 1950-This is one of the most famous UFO pictures ever taken.
Photographed by Paul Trent, and first witnessed by his wife.
They were published in a local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon.
Shortly thereafter, the Trent photos were published in Life magazine edition of June 26, 1950.
The rest is history.
(These photos have been deemed authentic for over 50 years. The analysis of the McMinnville photos by Dr.Bruce Maccabee PhD, can be found here = http://brumac.8k.com/trent1.html )

It’s our anti-gravity craft.

[Lee'sGhost]

Man...I’ve been waiting for that for a long time.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the warning...

Must be an “Old School” UFO, Gatling gun instead of “death ray” :)

[diogenes ghost]

It appears to be an RQ-170.

Black triangle aircraft/anti-gravity craft have been reported since at least the early 1990s.

Awesome! We need to get that over Iran, Syria and North Korea!

[bigtoona]

Fake!

It looks like an unmanned zeppelin, with rockets, to me. Seems like a great way to achieve long loiter times, reduced pilot risk, local control - and ability to deliver a nice punch.

Bravo!

Real explosion, fake aircraft.

If the US did have such an aircraft, why would they use it for this?

[blueunicorn6]

I don’t know, but some of those explosions were air bursts.
