| On Saturday, May 28, 2005, at 7:30 p.m., Frank Buckelmann, 41, and his 14-year-old son were walking in the woods near their home in Obergriesbach, Germany when they spotted a strange object approaching from the west. "On this evening, me and my 14-year-old son took a walk in the woods near our home," Frank reported, "After passing the trees, we looked down the hill into the valley where the village was lit by the slowly disappearing red sun. We were facing south and, suddenly, a rapidly-moving object passed by. Although it seemed to have moved incredibly fast, me and my son saw it clearly. It looked like a cookie or maybe a dish but not quite as round- shaped. On top of it was a bright light. I guess it was a reflection of the setting sun, although it was nearly dark." "Since the object was very fast and brightly lit, I could not observe exact details about the surface of the object." "As far as I remember, it emitted no sound. All I heard was a gentle buzzing but not as high-frequency as the roar of a jet engine. But this may have been similar to a car or a motorbike. My son heard it, too, but he also cannot definitely state what emitted that noise." "As we realized that the object would quickly leave our field of view, we ran around a group of trees to look in the easterly direction. But we were not fast enough. I only saw the object becoming smaller and smaller as it moved away. My son did not see it leaving at all." "On the way back to our house, we talked about it and repeatedly took a look back into the sky in case the object would come back. But we did not notice anything unusual." "The next morning (Sunday, May 29, 2005), we called the local newspaper and gave an interview about our observations. I hope I can find other people in this region who noticed the object, too." "My son thinks it flew very low, but I think it was just fast. Very glittery, like silver. It looked like it was falling or zigzagging through the sky." Frank's interview appeared in the Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung for May 30, 2005. (Email Form Report) |
