Light over Marquette-lez-Lille, HAUTS-DE · France

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

On November 11th 2023, between 6:36 39s and 6:36 43s PM, a fast-moving light, captured by my CCTV IR camera in Marquette-lez-Lille, appearing behind trees, at an estimate speed between Mach 2 to 4. The object has been globally following an S>N trajectory. Trees (poplars) are between 30 to 50 meters away from the camera, and they're very high (25? 30 meters?) I was watching at the screen when it appeared, in a room with an open door to the outside, and no noise was heard at this moment. After checking flightradar.com, there was not flight in the area possible to be mistaken with this objects. On the original recording, flights before and after can clearly be seen as a reference to compare. The sky was clear on that day. A bright star can also be seen in this footage, on its logical position for that day. The object is clearly moving behind the trees, and can't be a bug in the IR light.(IR exposition doesn't exceed 20 - 30 meters). Unclear which object the witnessif referring to in video.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179666). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
