Hello ,

It's cool your website I come from time to see a bit what is going ona round us.

Good I did not see a UFO at least I dont think I have.
That was this morning when it was still night it was between 5 and 5:30 a.m. I dont now exactly. And I looked at shooting stars because I must have conted at least 12 after then I looked at stars. And then suddenly I took a flash which came from all above in the stars and thus I really wonder what that could be. That lasted just a second. And that was as if I a tracd a fine line of 5cm approximately compared to the distance it was that appeard very very high.
That was like a flash of a strong white light then which after you would have said glass then that was so strong that in the second which follows I had the impression to still see theshadow. (a little when one looks at a light in a room then someones turns of the light you still sees it's shade) Well I dont now how to explain that.

And thus I seek what this could be but I do not find. I think that maybe that was an Iridium flash? But it does not show a photograph to see what that really resembles.

But is that visible to the eye naked?

Then with a telescope I wonder whether you can see the satellite? For the moment I have found no French website for I could have these infos but I continue to look fotr it on the internet.
