"Dear Sir,
"I regularly visit your web site and I want to congratulate you for your work."
"I am of French origin and a commercial pilot in Canada. During a leisure flight in company of a friend, who also is a commercial pilot, we observed an unidentified aircraft:"
"On September 8, 2002, our flight departed from [city] in direction of [city] on board of a single-engined aircraft PA-28-200. At [precise time, fully daytime], local time, our position was roughly 50NM in the North-East [of a certain place]; our speed 120 Knots; altitude 6500 feet."
I saw on the right side an aircraft of gray shiny metalic color, sufficiently shining to draw my attention. It wen in the opposite direction than us, it was at an estimated altitude of 3000 feet and was approximately 5 nautic miles away of us. It had a rectilinear trajectory and was flying fast. I at once informed my friend who checked and looked at it. He had hardly time to notice it because the object was hidden by our right wing. I failed to sse it again then but my friend confirms to have seen it continuing his trajectory. We estimated his size as that of a car. The duration of our observation did not last more than 5 seconds but my friend and me agreed on the fact that that did not resemble a conventional aircraft; (perhaps a secret military plane?)."
"We were under radar control with the center of Ottawa at this time and they did not inform us of a traffic evolving in our sector, as they usually do. I did not dare to ask them to confirm the presence of another aircraft and I regret it."
"My friend does not have any interest in UFOs and acknowledges that this aircraft left him perplexed, just like it did to me."
Best regards,
[X]."
The above account was communicated by eMail on September 13, 2002 to the web site "UFOs at close site," FFU member. The sender gives his name and electronic adress, not reproduced here for obvious reasons. In the same way, the recipient took care to retain the departure and the arrival of the flight, two big cities in Canada cities, as well as the position, and the exact hour, which is in full daytime. This correpond to the bracketed entries in the account. These data however were precisely communicated by the sender to the recipient and are scrupulously filed.
