Subject: UFO sighting Hello, I will want above all to congratulate you on your work, your daily efforts and especially on your seriousness and your critical sense, which are increasingly rare in this field... I send this email to you in order to forward an observation (with photograph) that a friend of mine made yesterday evening (on April 15, 2008) around 10:30 p.m., the place being Algiers (Algeria).Having gone outside to smoke on his balcony, he had fun with the smoke of his cigarette until he realizes that a great light came to appear in the sky!He then caught it on photograph with his cell phone! After that, it had disappeared! When I asked him which speed it went and if it did 'weird' maneuvers, he answered to me that it was almost motionless, and that it gave an impression of 'fluttering' (what he wants to say is that it moved, but in an extremely slow, almost motionless manner).He also tells me that he had never seen such a brilliant light in the sky, and that he was certain that it was neither a plane, neither a meteor, nor any other unspecified ordinary object.When I I asked him for the angular size, he tells me that it was like one ca see in the photograph, considering his apparatus does not have a zoom! Having observed satellites myself, the object that I see on the photograph, as well as the manner in which my friend describes it('motionless', strong brightness...), it does do not give me the impression the impression that it is a sattelite! But I do not assume anything, and do not reject the possibility of a commonplace explanation, just like the possibility that the object is an unknown. concerning the witness, it is a 17 years old young man, I am 19, and I am interested by the phenomenon since approximately 4-5 years, ressourcin myself among other things thanks to your site, which is one of the only that is serious, complete, and stripped of fantasies of the 'New Age' type... The photograph in question is attached!(sorry for the quality, it was taken with a cell phone) Best regards, [Firstname] [Name] |
