"During my night watch (I work as a security man) I observed the sky carefully, thinking about the beauty of the clear sky and the stars. Well... There above, I see some kind of luminous orange spots in formation, 5 or 6 of them. Coming from the South-East and going slowly towards the North-West, this formation had a geometrical shape resembling a rhombus of which the most advanced part was at the bottom, a little like a kite. The lights seemed spaced by several kilometers but kept the same distances between each other as they moved! You could have thought that a piece of sky had been taken down and displaced without noise in the sky... Disturbed, I make a radio call to my colleague and asks him to leave the building and come on the parking lot to describe what he sees... I did obtain the "What the hell is this thing?" After a while (10 mn approximately) the formation "changed" i.e. that you take the rhombus that I described above and you make it swivel until it reaches the horizontal plane, the large point of the rhombus being stretched lengthily towards the western northern direction in an acceleration while the other points behind disappeared gradually without gaining altitude! The last point disappeared now behind the building... always silently. I do not claim to know what we saw but it was really extraordinary!"
