Subject: UFO sighting Hello, I would have liked to write to you sooner because it is now several years that I go on your website and the day of my observation I immediately thought that by diffusing my testimony quickly an explanation would be easier. However being given my activity I unfortunately could not do it earlier... It was on November 3, 2007, I was at a friend's Boulevard Lannes in the 16th district of Paris, boulevard which faces the Wood of Boulogne, with a sight on all the Parisian Western suburbs. The sky was very covered but it did not rain. We were talking when suddenly we saw a weird object flying far over the Wood of Boulogne. It is difficult for me to say exactly above what city it was because it was far but by looking at a map I can say that it moved above the town of Puteaux. It was strange movements. Sometimes from top to bottom, sometimes coming towards us in the East (thus flying over the Wood), then reapearing towards the West (towards Puteaux). The movements were quite repetitive and marked pauses. The speed was important at the point to frighten us at the time it moved towards us. We could observe the object during a rather long time (approximately 45 minutes). Using binoculars we tried to see its shape but I must acknowledge to you that it was not very clear and that my memory seems failing. I remember maybe of sharp colors and a triangular structure. I had thought of a sounding balloon but the speed of the object was rather fast and the distances covered between each "pause" were too important so that it is linked to the ground (unless with a 2 km wire!). I attach a video that I recorded, on which one sees almost nothing whereas with the naked eye the object was perfectly visible (cell phone video), as well as a sketch indicating the movements done by the object. The phenomenon must nevertheless have an explanation since the place is extremely inhabited all the same and it is strange that an object could move above the Parisian suburbs, near the towers of La Défense, without anybody else seeing it... I remain available to you for possible questions. [Firstname] [Name] |
