Hafar Al-Batin overflight and reported vehicle failure

An Army guard recalled a very large dark object moving over a truck and nearby personnel during the Gulf War. The witness reported darkness beneath it, ineffective-looking flashlight and vehicle beams, and an engine that would not start. Light returned as the object passed. Its size and duration were subjective estimates. The report was submitted eighteen years later and supplies no maintenance record or independent instrument data.
