Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 3

Location: Geneva (Switzerland), , Switzerland

Shape: Light


Fast moving starlight makes tree sharp turns.

After a late night picnic along the lake in Geneva, we lay on our backs on the blanket looking up to the sky making small talks about stars and satellites. It was a clear evening with stars appearing to be a small pin lights.

Among them, we saw a same size light moving in a straight line from right to left on our farm of view.

Initially, we thought it was a satellite, but I had a second thought, as it seemed to move awful fast for something so far away and appear to be small.

As we discuss what it is, it abruptly made 45-degree turn down and the direction it was traveling from, then made two more sharp left turns making a triangle shape path before disappearing.

Happened very fast but three of us saw the same thing at the same time and couldn't believe what we have seen. It wasn't a trick of the eye nor something caught at a glance as we we looking at that particular light when we thought it was a satellite.

If it didn't move, we would have thought it was one of the many stars.

I do believe we saw an UFO and wanted to share the story.

I will be looking up again as we are returning to the same spot tonight.







((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Dear Peter,

Very sorry for the late reply.
I was traveling for work and I am just getting around to personal emails.

The incident happened in 2012 indeed, but I've never forgotten the impact it had on me and have been thinking about sharing this with someone ever since.

I wanted to find a blog or a place where people can share the stories and can give some information/ideas as to what it is I saw.

As mentioned, I was with two other friends who saw the same thing so I know it wasn't the trick of the eye. and if I was alone, I believe no one would believe me anyway.

My friends don't even want to talk about it as they have no answers.

I have been looking up at the sky ever since hoping to see more things.

Thanks for providing the forum in which we can share these stories. I look forward to reading more on your site.

Best regards,

((name deleted))
