On December 2001, I received a non-anonymous email of a man reporting a UFO UFO experience.
This man explained that he looked for a website about UFOs, found mine and read testimonys that I published, and after some hesitation, he decided to relieve his mind about an event which changed his life and that he told about as follows:
While he was in the army, on July 28, 1998, at 01:00 a.m. within 5 kilometers of the town of Tindouf in the Algerian Sahara, with a comrade, he suddenly saw a light coming towards him.
The two men were quite afraid because they had gone downtown without asking permissions from their chief and probably initially thought that they were being sought for.
They thus hid behind a sand hillock, while the light approached right in front of them within 4.5 meters, the display appearing to them like some science fiction movie, imposing and beautiful.
For the witness, there was no doubt that it was a UFO, if only by its size of almost 9 meters. I was hovering 1.50 meters above ground-level, with a light with front and another at the back, different from other lights, which seemed to go down and project on the place in a "square" beam or a square section. It had also a light on the top and another below, both described as beautiful.
The craft also had "windows" with dark lights (obscured or darker?), and they did not hear any engine noise, only a sound compared to that of a simple ventilator.
The two men then fled, the witness looking back when he was at a distance of 30 meters from the UFO. He then saw that the UFO was stopped in front of a fill, and that a meager "thing" came out of it, that he could not see well, but it had a small bump on the head.
He then fled again running as fast as he could.
The witness specified that it was full moon and that the visibility was thus good. Neither him nor his friend had dared to tell their story, by fear to be perhaps considered crazy.

Subject: ufos ---------------------------------------------------------- hi I looked at this website about UFOs, and I read all these testimonies ,and I hesitated initially but I really want to tell and get this out of my chest,that thing completely changed my life,and here's my story:I was in the Army,and on July 28, 1998 at 01:00 a.m. in a city called tindouf in the Algerian Sahara,and at 05 km from the city I was with a buddy and all of a sudden a light came at us,we were very frightened thinking our chief had thought we were going to town awol and that's why we hid behind a sand dune and the light approached just in front of us at almost 4.5 m and it was like in the science-fiction movie:oh my god the larger one was magnificent:a ufo of almost 09 meters with two lights one at the front and one at the back, and the latter light wasn't like the others, it goes straight down and it was squared that light and between the two lights windows with dark lights,we do hear its engine noise it's like the sound of a simple air conditioning fan,and it had two other lights one at the top and the other at the bottom and it was magnificent,it was 1.5m above the ground and this height there was no doubt it was a UFO. Then we fled and while looking back at almost 30 meters and there was a full moon so there was a good visibility, I saw that the ufo had stopped in front of a dune and I saw a thing that came out of it, it was skinny and I did not see it very well but the most certain thing is that it had a small bump on its head,at this time I run away with my buddy as far as possible. and that's my story I never told it to anybody and my buddy didn't tell it,maybe we thought that if we tell this people would certainly think we're crazy,and if you need more details please write,thanks. |
Algerian people use arab, but for historical reasons, most people speak French although they do not necessarily write it. The witness thus wrote in phonetic French, and I rendered it in readable English. The original is of course in the French version of this page.
