U.S. Soldier views unexplainable subject near Bargi Matal
Account
The witness was on night watch at a mountain outpost in Afghanistan when an unknown subject was seen through a military thermal scope about 500-600 meters away for 10-15 minutes. The subject moved very agilely up loose shale and appeared large with heavy shoulders and a uniform heat signature interpreted as unclothed. Five other soldiers were woken to view it, and none could identify it.
