"I wanted to let you know about a nocturnal sighting of yesterday evening. I live in Lille [big city], I am 25 years old and I am a UFO believer. This is my third unexplained observation (in 2 years)."
"At about 11:15 P.M.,, I went outside on the balcony of my flat to smoke a cigarette, the sky was clear, slightly misty and the moon was full. My attention was drawn for a moment onto moving objects, which flew very low, I am unable to tell if it was a single object or rather a formation, it more resembled one formation of 3 objects, 3 spots as I call them, a little bit translucent, of white color and with an egg shape. They were in tight formation and moved in a rectilinear way at a constant speed, they passed at some twenty of meters above the top of the roof of my building, without any noise, in total silence, I had the impression which they "quietly slipped" into the sky and flew above the city, the observation was very brief, a few seconds but I had never seen anything like this. I quickly dismissed certain assumptions such as plane, helicopter, balloons... for my part it was also not a natural phenomenon or a standard comet... I do not know what it was."
