Le 11 aout 2015 à13h15 un famille est intriguée par le passage silencieux dans le ciel de deux appareils noirs en forme de boomerang avec l'avant d'un triangle. Les appareils disparaissent rapidement cachés par des arbres. La trajectoire du premier appareil était rectiligne et le second a changé brusquement de direction. Aucun autre témoignage n'a été recueilli. La météo de ce jour, relevée à Nimes Garons, est particulière : on observe un changement de vent passant du Nord en matinée au Sud dans l'après midi. L'instant de l'observation se situe en plein dans cette inversion, rendant impossible la détermination du vent local à cet instant précis (voir le relevé Météociel. La forme en boomerang et la trajectoire non linéaire font penser à un cerf volant ou à un modèle réduit d'avion radiocommandé ou drone (Voir une vidéo d'un engin avec cette forme Les drones ou ailes volantes lumineuses). L'environnement local (zone pavillonaire) semble très peu propice à faire voler un cerf volant, qui plus est si le vent est instable. Reste l'hypothèse de l'aile volante radiocommandée, qui semble compatible avec l'observation, mais que le GEIPAN n'a pas les moyens de vérifier sans autre témoignage, ni photo/vidéo. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "C" par manque de recoupements. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

Sightings Report: I swear/affirm the statement made by me is factual, truthful and made without any duress or promises of anything in kind. On 08/10/2105, at approximately 19:13 hours; I was sitting in a chair facing a south-westerly direction in my backyard in Hartford, Alabama; in the county of Geneva. While I was watching my dogs as they were utilizing the potty/restroom. I then notice that a passenger jet airplane was flying over from the south-westerly direction heading north-easterly over my residence. As, the airplane was passing you can hear the thrust of the jet in the distance. The airplane’s altitude was approximately 27/30,000 feet and it was leaving a contrail in its wake as it passed overhead. I watched the airplane's trajectory and contrail for approximately 2 or 3 minutes. Something caught my peripheral vision on my right side, and I noticed that something else was in the sky following the passenger jet airplane. I immediately called my wife from the bedroom where she was changing from her work clothes to lounging clothes. I wanted her to confirm to me that I was not seeing things or my eyes were playing tricks on me. Upon her immediate arrival from the bedroom to the outside back concrete deck where I was now standing and watching the sky; I asked her what she was seeing in the sky, and explain it to me in her own words. The object was approximately 3½ miles behind the jet airplane and traveling at approximately 13/15,000 feet in altitude and following the same trajectory as the passenger jet. The object was triangular in shape, it had no wings, it had no rotary attachments, it was not leaving any contrail in its wake. The object was white or of a silver metallic color and material. The object was traveling at a constant speed and had no noise associated with its flight. As we both watched the jet airplane travel in the north-easterly direction; we called our son via cellphone who lives 6 houses down the street and asked him to come outside his residence and look to the sky to see what we were seeing. The object was still traveling as if in tow towards the jet airplane’s direction. As we watched what was happening over our home, our son called us back from his cell phone and informed us to look back towards his residence that there were 2 more triangular, white or silver metallic objects traveling at the same altitude and trajectory as the first object pacing the passenger jet airplane. All of these objects were traveling at the same distance and speed of each other and approximately 4 to 5 miles apart. These objects were like the first triangular object in which they to made no noise, had no markings, left no contrail and had no wings or rotary devices attached to them, either. All three objects were all similar in shape, height, color and descriptions. I am from New York City. I am 48 years old. I have a BS-CJ and a MS-SHRM from Troy University. I am retired from the United States Military, ARMY. I held a (TS/SBI w. SCI Access) Top-Secret Security Clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmentalized Information and was read-on in the (PRP) Personnel Reliability Program for the Confirmation, Authorization and Release of Nuclear Weapons. I also served as a COMSEC (Communications Security) Security Officer for Confidential and above Top Secret items and documents for a Nuclear Weapons Site. I was one of the Trainers, Testers and Certifying Officers for more than 40 Military Police and over 100 Host National Security Forces in Emergency Training and Duress Procedures related to Nuclear Weapons. (( We spoke via telephone on two occasions, and we found him to be unusually eloquest and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an skilled, and highly reliable witness. After we first spoke with the witness, he reported that he had contacted the FAA to report the incident, thereby allowing that agency to examine its radar tapes. They elected not to do so, but provided the witness with the telephone number for NUFORC, which he already had. NUFORC offered to delete portions of the witness's last paragraph above, because the information provided could be used to identify the source. He said that he did not mind if the government knew who had submitted the report. PD))

The triangular box craft was hovering over the shoreline where there were many families with cars parked on the beach. It had very colorful lines of lights that would sequence off and on under the craft. I took the video from my car sunroof, as I was fascinated, but scared to get as close as cars parked on beach. The craft was at a standstill to the naked eye, but on my video it is moving in all directions. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I was taking my dog out before bed, and as I was walking her around my yard, I noticed something very bright coming towards us in the sky. It was about 50 feet above the trees and about the same size in the sky as my 2000 sq foot house. I could hear a low humming sound but it was I no way as loud as a jet or plane. It seemed to be flying way too low so I thought it was landing but I live nowhere close to an airport. It was black in color, triangle in shape with three red lights on each corner and bright white lights on the bottom in a circle almost like spotlights, but I didn't feel like the were actually shining light downwards. The craft flew directly over us at a fast but steady pace, I watched it until I lost sight of it in the tree line.

I saw a UFO over Burbank Studios. I was walking outside a studio building and saw a daytime star overhead, but I think it was a triangle shape, or maybe rectangular slightly. It had real bright lights making it look like a star at first glance. It was really far up, I think. It was just hovering above not moving much. Earlier that day there was someone sky writing in the sky the word Compton. Lots of people saw that! Weird cause this is Burbank.

Le 6 aout 2015 à 22h20 un témoin aperçoit dans le ciel le passage rapide d'une forme triangulaire translucide qui l'intrigue. Aucun bruit, aucun clignotement, aucune trainée ne sont remarqués. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Le témoin observe le phénomène se déplacer du Sud-Ouest vers le Nord-Est sur quelques dizaines de degrés en une seconde. Une première vérification du contexte astronautique, par le site Calsky (cf relevé ci-joint), indique un passage de la station spatiale internationale (ISS) de 22h20 à 22h25, de l'Ouest vers l'Est, à basse élévation, simultanément à l'observation mais assez loin de la direction d'observation du témoin qui, allongé, regarde vers le zénith. La rapidité du phénomène, et la coïncidence avec la période d'observation de l'essaim des Perséides (étoiles filantes) oriente vers une hypothèse de 3 étoiles filantes simultanées (peut-être issues d'un même corps). Cette hypothèse n'explique bien sûr pas la forme triangulaire creuse observée par le témoin. Cette forme peut être une illusion de perception (voir le lien Illusion de forme ou de contour. ) Mais cette hypothèse ne peut être confirmée. Le témoin, interrogé au téléphone, a précisé que l'éclat des points lumineux ne ressemblait pas à celui d'une étoile filante. L’observation très courte, par un seul témoin, ne permet pas de caractériser finement le phénomène. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "C" par manque d'information et de recoupements.

I witnessed 3 glowing orange to red orange orbs to the SW. The 3 objects appeared to be independent of each other and oscillated at different intervals. I could not discern the presence of an overlaying craft (these did not appear to be lights attached to a craft of any kind). The 3 orbs began as a single light and progressed in short fashion (maybe 10 minutes) in to 3, presented to me in the form of a perfect triangle in the sky. I did not see any apparent motion nor did I detect any sound resonating from the SW. I initially had thought that the single orb was a forthcoming helicopter (mayo one does fly in this area) however, after seeing no motion and then witnessing the 3 in the sky, forming a perfect triangle, I knew that this was something completely different. I'm not sure what I witnessed but the fact that it maintained a perfectly triangular shape and quickly disappeared, after 30 minutes had elapsed, left quite a lasting impression in my mind.

Indian Land, SC
On Wednesday August 5, 2015, at between 2200-2300 hours, while on patrol, I observed a triangle shaped craft, with three red lights on it, traveling at a high rate of speed near Indian Land, SC/ Waxhaw NC. The craft was traveling south bound, just east of Hwy 521 in Indian Land, and west of Providence Road in Waxhaw, paralleling both roads. At first, I thought it was a private aircraft, due to several airports in the area, but as I work nights, I am familiar with the regular approach and departure patterns for the airport, and this craft was low, and traveling at a very high rate of speed, much faster than a normal aircraft. The body of the craft appeared black, and I was unable to make out any detail or cockpit. I did not hear any sound from the craft. I am reporting this after hearing the other report from the Weddington/ Wesley Chapel area in NC, which is literally just over the border. I am convinced that I witnessed the same craft that was reported on 8/5/15.

Driving home from work around 9 p.m., saw a bright light in the distance that I thought was a planet at first. I got closer and assumed it was a plane because there are a couple airports nearby, but thought it was odd the plane wasn't coming closer nor going away. It kind of moved across the street and I was able to make out its triangular shape with 3 distinct lights on each point. They were pulsing and the object flew just low enough that I could distinctly see its trianfular silhouette above the trees on Weddington Road. It didn't make any sound and was completely motionless except for pulsing light. I was able to completely pass it with my car. I've always been skeptical of UFOs but this was the oddest thing.

Driving down backroads after dinner, passing by a cemetery. We both notice a bright light hovering over the cemetery. We drove down the road closest to the cemetery because the roads leading in are gated off at dusk. Anyway, we get pretty close to the lights and it's still hovering above the cemetery. All of a sudden, the altitude increases and slowly starts to fly toward us. We open the sunroof and turn the volume down in the car. The aircraft is making a loud, vibrating noise and has three red lights underneath it, when it flew over us. Within a minute or so, it picked up speed, and we followed it down the road, going at least 40 mph, and it went over a treeline and just disappeared. We both saw the same exact thing. It was a black, triangle aircraft with three red lights underneath, and bright beams all around the sides of it. We saw this aircraft for 3 minutes before it vanished over the treelines.

Started as a bright sphere light, after it passed it had a triangle shape, with a light on each corner, then after it flew off into the distance it looked like three dots the two ends one were white. It made no noise. It flew around 3 different times, the second going the same dirrection as the first, n the third the opposite direction, but it left a trail of smoke behind it.

We noticed an orange triangular shaped light hover in the sky over our campsite at Beechfork State Park campground. It did not make any noise. We have no idea how long it had been there. After we spotted it, it lingered for about 4 minutes and slowly moved across the sky. We watched it move away for approximately another 6 minutes. A white round object flew across the sky and met it in the air. Together, they disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sitting on my back porch, then lights and some sound came out of no where. It flew over me really fast, then was gone. This triangle like craft had 5 green lights and one red light. Four in the back and one at the point all bright green. Then one in the middle which was bright red. It made noise but not loud enough to be anything I've ever seen. I was a little bit higher then a two story house and was a perfect triangle. It had no trail but looked as if it hovered. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was waking from my house to Ralph's ices about 1/3 mile from my house with my 3 cousins on beech street when we stopped to look at 2 fixated lights hovering over the ocean. They were horizontal and triangular, and appeared to me to be at least 1/8 over the oceanfront part of the beech given my proximity. They never moved. . 40 seconds from the time I decided to film it. I snapped one shot across the street, and one second before I confirmed what my first thought was. I was perhaps 2 blocks from the ocean on beech st on and fumbled for video mode. I was able to get the .40 second shot before I saw a direct plane or such pale out or muffle my video. The occurance of moment left us perplexed discussing coincidence and chance ... After the fact. One of my troupe who is witness is an actuary and is perhaps the best possible person I would have as witness testify On behalf my/our claim. ((END ADDENDUM))

It was a hot day, around 20:00 we had power outage on entire street + two other streets. Maybe because power-overload that everyone was using conditioners or (maybe it somehow connected with our friends-aliens). We went outside and I looked in the sky and I saw a Triangle shape, with bright lights was moving slowly but then it stopped.

I could make out a contour line that looked like a flat triangle shape object. The brighter light became dimer while the other became brighter, the light hovered over the ground for around 2-3 minutes and then disappeared completely. The sky had some clouds, but normal airplanes coming from O'Hare airport were easily seen and recognized, but that thing had way to bright lights to be an airplane. Also, as an Army Veteran I know that lights do not just hover in the sky for 3 minutes.

I seen a red light under the moon and then I seen another one about 30 feet away, while I was looking at them a two green triangles light about 10 feet tall coming toward me and I turn a video but it does show the green light but it does show a white light moving in diffrent directions. I also took a still picture

I was walking my dog and we were passing through two buildings in my Condo Complex. I heard a buzzing sound like a drone but didn't see anything. After I came to the side walk I looked up and I saw 3-4 red blinking lights. The aircraft was hovering high in the air, but the lights were extremely bright. Within a few seconds of noticing the 3/4 bright red lights, a green light blinked. The craft moved in a line and then stopped again. Hovered for about 30-45 seconds and then moved again in a horizontal line. At this point, I noticed another green light blinking. I was quite mesmerized by the sight of this and it was definitely not a helicopter. I was curious if anyone else saw something on this quiet night.
