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.

Is that not a C-130 Spooky? The reaction from the ground troops was rather, normal, considering what they were watching and that aircraft was using convention ordinance?

The cameraman just happened to be in the right place at the right time, filming nothing at all, when the “UFO” “just happened” to float in. Show the object making a 90-degree turn without hesitation at >1000 mph... then I might consider it to be an alien vehicle.

From the comments at the source:

So, if the average YouTuber with an IQ in the lower double figures can determine that this is a fake and find the original video of a air strike of a weapons depot - why does the DM have difficulty in doing the same?

IMHO, a flying wing drone with vectoring nozzles like a Harrier jump jet..

But those were just unsubstantiated rumors. This is real.

Even the conspiracy sites that want to believe had it pegged in seconds as a fake. A good one but fake.
