Cylinder over Artemis · Greece
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
- Cylinder shape with bright white line across its bottom. - Moving slowly from West to East in light North wind. - Sighting happened just after nightfall, object's shape was barely discernible against the sky's last twilight. - Object located 8.3 km away from the Athens International Airport, at approx. altitude of 1.5 km above ground. - Estimated size was (much) larger than an airplane, with no wings, exhaust, blinking lights, or noise present. - The usual air-traffic to-and-from the airport was flying much higher, and didn't seem to notice or get bothered by it. - Faded in the distance after approx. 4-5 minutes. - Two eye-witnesses. Didn't catch any photos/vid because we were too busy trying to figure out WTF was it that we were looking at.
