Hello Mr. Gross, first of all I insist on congratulating you for the quantity of information available on your website which I regularly browse since its beginnings [2000].

My name is [First name] [Name's initial]. ,I am 20 years old and I live in Mandeure in the Franche-Comté and I hope to be enlightened a little more on the phenomenon which it occurred from 9 years ago already. (1998)

So I was 11 years old, one evening towards 9 p.m., whereas I went to close the shutters of my balcony ([Street number] rue de Breuil 25350 if you want to look up on a map), I saw in the sky an enormous triangular mass fly over my neighborhood. I could not say precisely at which altitude the craft was but it nearly entirely covered the 4 HLM [apartment buildings od several floors] which makes my district (mine being 5 storeys of a width of approximately 50 meters). The mass was made up of 3 white lights on the ends of each ends. I could only see it from underneath and it literally passed very close to my HLM at a rather slow speed, approximately 20-30Km/h. In the center, geometrical forms appeared: round, square and triangle which alternated as the craft moved forward, the intensity of the light of the forms was comparable to that of neons and no projection of light was made on the ground. So I followed the phenomenon during approximately 15 seconds before calling my mother who also could observe the craft about thirty second more. I want to specify that the sky was clear and that no noise or humming was audible. Passed above my HLM, I thus crossed my apartment to see it on the other side from ny bedroom. I waited approximately 5 minutes to see it reappear unfortunately there was nothing anymore. I learned thereafter that a friend who walked his dog at this time there, also saw it but from the side him because he was on the level of the town hall (visible with google earth) and its dog became insanely furious. It does not seem to me that I saw other people from my window at this time there.

In summary :

Weather : Rather clear night.

Description of the craft : Triangular with white lights at each ends

Altitude and size: Approximately 30 or 40 meters above a building of 7 floors (and not 5,mine was not the biggest). The public garden connecting the building is approximately 70 meters broad and 35 meters in length, the machine covered it entirely.

Colors: Black darker than the night, forms triangular distinguishable this way, I attach a file reproducing more or less what I saw, the colors sticking to the forms is not confirmed, I do not remember any more the order.

Witnesses : Myself, observation during about 45 secondes to 1 minute

Ma mother, observation from the same place than I during approximately 30 seconds

A friend, observation from a side, I do not know how long anymore.

I think I said it all more or less, in any case it is since this event that I impassion myself for ufology :). If you have additional questions I am at your disposal.

Best regards.
