Teardrop over Over the alps (may have been Italy), PROVENCE · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
1 object which was of black colour and teardrop shape flying low and very fast over the top of the alps. I was above it in a plane which departed from Dublin at about 13:45 going to Rome on the plane company Ryan air. The craft appeared to be small about the size of a fighter jet completely travelling very fast as it covered a huge distance in 10-20 seconds. The object had a beam grey smoked coming from the bottom of it into the ground below. This was not making a mark on the mountains though.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174530). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
