A new disturbing testimony on the mysterious UFO
"It was a round thing that was quite high in the sky. It was very very clear...", repeats tirelessly this resident of Saint-Léger-en-Yvelines.
After hearing the testimony of a couple from the new town who think they saw a flying saucer over the Rambouillet forest, last Sunday in the early morning, she wonders if it was the same object that passed over her house.
"I have a skylight located just above my bed that looks out onto the sky. I did not note the exact time, but it was at least 4 o'clock in the morning, Sunday. I was awake and my gaze was drawn to a strange object. It was quite high and seemed to me to be bigger than an airplane. It was flying fast, but not at a dizzying speed," says this woman who admits to having been troubled.
"It was really weird and I wondered what it could be. It didn't look like an airplane. I thought it might be a shooting star. I even remember making a wish. It intrigued me so much that I talked about it the next day to my children. When I read the couple's story I immediately made the connection. I think it was the same thing, especially since I live on the other side of the Rambouillet forest," she continued.
The same day, but around 6:30 in the morning, Bruno, an association manager in the new town of Saint-Quentin, accompanied his wife to work. While crossing the Maincourt-sur-Yvette forest, the couple claimed to have seen a round object with four white lights around the edge and a red one in the center that was hovering a few meters above the forest ("Le Parisien" of Wednesday, October 29).
The craft disappeared at high speed when the couple wanted to park their car to observe it more closely.
