| WOMAN PHOTOGRAPHS A UFO IN CANNES On Monday, January 15, 2004, at 8:55 a.m., Fabrice M. reported, "I had coffee on my terrace before going to work" in Cannes, a seaport city in the department Alpes Maritimes in southern France. "I often look up at the sky. Moreover, I had viewed things in the past, but I had no camera." This time was different. "As soon as I saw the strange light hovering in the sky, I took my digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 5700 with an 8X zoom, and took some pictures of what I saw. Then the brilliant shape left in the reverse direction, at a slow speed. There were no clouds where the UFO was. On the other hand, there were clouds over the (Mediterranean) sea, and some sunbeams managed to pass through these clouds. The UFO had an oval shape, and it was about 3 kilometers (2 miles) away, I think." Cannes is 200 kilometers (120 miles) east of Marseilles.

| COUPLE SEES A SAUCER IN AVIGNON, FRANCE On Saturday, December 27, 2003, the eyewitness "walked to the Palace of the Popes in Avignon," a city in the department of Vaucluse in southern France, "with my girlfriend. Nobody was on the square. The (former papal) palace was all lit up. My girlfriend drew my attention to a funny object in the sky coming from Villeneuve-les-Avignon." "It was a disc of brilliant red lights. The object then accelerated in the direction of and stopped right above the palace. It seemed to come down closer (lower than 100 meters (330 feet), hovering at about 20 meters (66 feet) above the palace--the witness), and as a result we can make a precise description of it. It had the shape of a saucer overhung with a large dome of black colour. The rest of the object was silver-grey, and it threw a bright red light in the direction of the ground." "There was absolutely no noise! The display lasted for about three minutes, and I hastened to get closer to the UFO by climbing the stairs which lead to the palace gardens. But the object disappeared immediately by going away straight up into the sky at a dizzying speed." "We have no explanation. The object did not look like a helicopter, a plane or a balloon."

| On Saturday, May 14, 2005, four people were outdoors in Avignon, a city in southern France, when they saw three luminous objects in the sky, approaching from the southwest. "It must have been 10:15 p.m., and we were going out," an eyewitness reported, "All four of us went out to get some air. Our gaze was directed at three luminous objects in the shape of a very circular moon, coming in from the southwest. The three objects were moving quite fast, without emitting noise. The approximate distance between us and the phenomenon was 200 meters (660 feet)." The UFOs "then drew together like a triangle and seemed to get near each other as if flying together. Our encounter did not last more than five seconds before they disappeared out of our field of vision, heading towards the northeast." The eyewitness, who described himself as "a geologist by vocation," added, "All three of these mysterious objects followed the fault line which goes beneath our (Avignon) area, running from southwest to northeast for a distance of 20 kilometers (12 miles)." On Monday, May 2, 2005, a spherical orange UFO appeared over Bondoufle, a town in the Essone region of France. The eyewitness reported, "My encounter lasted not more than 15 seconds. It happened sometime between 11:25 and 11:35 p.m. I saw a round object, the colour of an orange streetlight. There was a slight luminous trail behind it, of a curious blue-orange colour." "We were returning home with my father after a concert in Paris. Just before coming to a stop sign, we saw a strange orange star in the sky. But this object was three times the size of a normal star. As we came to a complete stop, the object dipped behind a tree. So I asked my father to drive back a little bit. But by then the object had completely disappeared...in two seconds."

| On Thursday, August 18, 2005, eyewitness Pierre L. reported, "I witnessed at 7:25 p.m. over La Cadiere d'Azur, in the department of Var (France), several black helicopters without visible (identification) markings hovering in the sky. They were present when a glossy cylinder rose from the top of the hill called Gros Cerveau (French for Big Brain--J.T.). The object then changed direction while going horizontally from the level of the clouds to the north-northeast." "Two black helicopters stayed hovering in the area for another ten or fifteen minutes" after the cylindrical UFO departed. On Friday, August 19, 2005, at 7 p.m., eyewitness Gaspard W. reported, "I live on the heights of Nice," a large city on France's Mediterranean Sea coastline, "and I observed with my own eyes a similar cylindrical object over the Alpes-Maritimes. The object was at an altitude of between 7,000 and 9,000 meters (23,100 to 29,700 feet) and also its trajectory was perfectly rectilinear, more or less, from the southwest to the northeast. My observation took place at approximately 7 p.m." "Atmospheric conditions were perfect, no clouds or pollution. The object moved with a constant speed similar to that of a normal aeroplane. I could clearly distinguish a bulge at the center, of a slightly darker appearance than the remainder of the structure." On Saturday night, August 27, 2005, a mutilated horse was found in a pasture in the department of Ile de France. The case was reported on TV Channel 3 in Paris, and the news show 12/14 devoted an entire segment to it. According to French ufologist Robert Fischer, "a report from the stablehand who looked into the death of a foal which had been found mutilated in a strange manner" was presented on the news show. The foal "had obviously not been eaten, but certain body parts, in a patchwork operation, had been removed, said the animal's owner. The owner blamed a neighbour's Alsatian dog for the death, but veterinary experts who examined the goal doubted that 'wounds so precise' could have been inflicted by a dog." Earlier in the month, on Monday, August 8, 2005, at 11:42 p.m., "we observed in the sky an object of triangular shape pass across the sky" in Gard, a village near Nimes" in southern France," the witnesses reported, "We were on the terrace looking at the stars. It was beautiful weather, no cloud, the sky was perfectly clear, when suddenly my friend saw a light of an orange colour-- the same colour as a sodium lamp--of a rather large size, which came from the west." "When the object passed overhead, we saw that it was composed of 13 orange lights laid out in an equilateral triangle. The size of the object was about the width of a fist held at the end of an extended arm. The triangle seemed to slip through the sky, no noise at all. It moved in the sky in a straight line from west to east towards (the constellation) Cassiopeia, then swerved as it passed behind the house and where we lost sight of it. The duration was very short, less than 10 minutes. This light in the sky was approximately 50 degrees above the horizon." (Merci beaucoup a Robert Fischer pour ces nouvelles.) |
