Subject: green gleam in the sky hello, thursday december 13, 2007, while returning home, at approximately 10:15 p.m., I live close to Avignon, I noticed a large green fluo ball, approximately 20 cm in diameter, moving without noise and at very high speed, like a mirage [jet fighter], at the same altitude, therefore very high, in the southern direction. I had never observed this kind of phenomenon, then approximately 5 to 10 mn later, while arriving in my street in front of the my house, I better observe this same phenomenon which this time, passed in the opposite direction,thus towards north, as I drove slower, I saw it passing straightforwardly above me, and flying over my garage, always at a very fast speed! That night,the sky was very clear and you could well observe the stars! Waiting to hear from you, thanks! [Firstname] [Name] |
[Sent on January 11, 2008]. Dear [Firstname], Thank you very much for your observation report. I have a question. Could you, by taking a rule held at the extended arm, and by calling upon your memory, specify how many millimeters the phenomenon occupied, for each one of the two passes? thans a lor in advance. Best regards, |
Subject: RE: green gleam in the sky Dear Patrick Gross, This Ball, as I call it, measured between 15 and 20 centimeters, it was quite big ! The first time, as I was driving, I just saw a green light passing on my left, I thought initially that something was reflected on the glasses of my spectacles! or that I had hallucinations, but this phenomenon exceeded me very quickly and had the same size as the following! Thank you, for answering to me, because when I spoke about it around me, people do not take me seriously! Thus, I am quite happy that somebody tries to understand! Thanks a lot! And all my wishes for the new year [Firstname] [Name] |
