La Cadiere, Var France-10th July 2012
Location of Sighting: La Cadiere, Var (France)
Date of Sighting: 10/07/2012
Time: around 11.30pm
Witness Name: Marion
Witness Statement: Right the reason why I’m a regular here is that I myself witnessed what I think is a UFO. I did report it on another website and never here so I’ll do it now in case it’s of interest to you.
On the night of the 10th july 2012 when on holiday at my mum’s, I was having a last ciggie before bed with my nephew on the terrace. I was explaining to my nephew that on clear nights we can see satellites passing above us. We saw coming from our right (that would have been South – and from the coastline) what looked like a plane at first (lights approaching) and a few seconds later I noticed they were twinkling quite differently than a usual commercial plane. So I kept on looking while talking to my nephew. The “plane” wasn’t flying on the usual paths but whatever, as it approached we noticed that first of all the object was flying quite low (I can’t say an exact altitude, but it seems like it was in the course of a taking off or a landing? and flying pretty slowly too, can’t give you any speed at all – no idea how to measure that) and that it didn’t look like neither an helicopter nor a commercial plane as there were more lights, and these lights were flashing in a totally random pattern. I called my mum to join us and watch. The “object” approached our village, and flew over some of the roof tops, it must have been, I don’t know 200, 300m high?? Super, super low!! Definetely made of some dark (black, dark grey?) material, with at least 5 or 6 lights – a mix of white, orange and red – flashing randomly – OR perhaps the object was spinning around itself which could have given the illusion – or both. It flew above the roofs until a couple of blocks away from our flat and then made nearly a U-turn and then started heading back almost from where it came from. We lost sight due to the neighbouring roofs. The object was quite large (would have covered my mum’s studio which is about 30m2) and we both agreed on a circular or at least oval shaped with the lights circling its borders – no visibility on the height of the object itself though. No noise at all and when my mum joined us, that’s what I kept on asking “shush, listen. There’s no noise, can you hear a noise?” We were paralysed by what we were witnessing and totally dazed so to speak. I will NEVER forget what we saw that night, my nephew freaked out and my mum couldn’t give an explanation.
I did not report the sighting to the police, scared that they might think I’m insane but searched on the internet ever since for similar reports (and found this website! Haha). I found a video on youtube in France a few weeks earlier and I think one in Peru in Jan 2011 that “somehow” looked similar to what we witnessed. We ruled out satellite (of course), chinese lanterns, helicopters, commercial planes, weather balloons, the only explanations to me are either a UFO or a military object – but I still can’t figure out whether the military can can fly circular objects and make them do U turns like that.
If you have any questions please do ask as I check this website very often (still hoping!)

I very much doubt that any military has anything of that nature/capability. It was most likely a genuine UFO, ie. an alien spacecraft. After all, no one can deny the fact that we are being visited, the evidence is overwhelming.
January 19th, 2013 at 12:10 am
T. Wood….Yes, the military do have things of that nature/capability. According to ‘Ben Rich’ known as ‘the Father of the stealth bomber’ and Director of ‘Lockheed Skunkworks’[the part of Lockheed that dealt with the secret projects], the US military can and do, travel amongst the stars. He said that they have built these crafts by ‘back’engineering alien crash retrievals, ‘including the one from Roswell’ and also some ‘hand me downs’! He said we could take ET home! He said, that after a lifetime of believing that this should be kept from the public because he didn’t think we could handle it, that he began to realise that we, the human race, are in more danger from the people who are ‘really’ running this world, than we are from the aliens! He said this when he was dying [nothing to gain] in 1995. He said a lot of other ‘more important’ things too. Please do check it out for yourself!

No one can deny we’re being visited? No one can prove it, so how on earth is it undeniable? I’ve said it before: thousands of high powered telescopes and satellites monitor our skies all the time: why no evidence? Why nothing concrete, actual? I used to view you as an object of ridicule, T Wood, but you’re becoming off-putting as you spout unsubstantiated garbage.
January 19th, 2013 at 2:49 pm
I can, and will
January 19th, 2013 at 7:33 pm
Hi guys,
I’m glad my observation sparked some interest. I am a believer that we do get visited but I also like to make sure we can discard all other possibilities first when we analyse a sighting. As I said I can only think of either a genuine UFO or a military craft, however it seems nearly impossible to get some info about what the military actually managed to build and what they regularly fly above our heads. So frustrating ! I wish we knew more about the different types of man-made modern crafts… and finding that on the web is nearly impossible
January 19th, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Caz, how can you be sure that all these things attributed to Ben Rich are the truth and not a covert propaganda attempt to show that the US are still a big player militarily on the World stage? I don’t get why they would allow this to become public knowledge given how secretive they are about what goes on at Groom Lake. Of course, it may all be true word for word, but I wouldn’t be doing my job as a sceptic unless I posed the question

From Apollo 11.The untold story.
Apollo 11 to Mission Control: “Do you have any idea were
the S-147B is with respect to us”? (this had been jetisoned two days earlier)
Mission control:Standby.
Buzz Aldrin: “There was something out there that was close enough to be observed, what could it be? Mike (Colins) decided he thought he could see it with the telescope, and, he was able to do that, and, when it was in one position it was a series of elipses, but, when you made it real sharp it was sort of L shaped, that didn’t tell us much, now, obviously the three of us weren’t gonna blurt out “Hey Huston, we’ve got something moving alongside us & we don’t know what it is, (you know) can you tell us what it is?, we weren’t about to do that, because we know those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people & who knows what somebody would ahve demanded that we turn back because of Aliens or whatever the reason is, so, we didn’t do that, but we did decide we’d cauctiously ask Huston were, how far away the S-1V4B is”.
Mission control:’Apollo 11. Houston.The S-1VB is about 6000 nautical miles from you now, over’
Buz Aldrin: “And, er, thay came back and said something like
(it’s 6000 miles away) because of the manouver, we really didn’t think we was looking at something that far away, so, we decided after a while watching it, it was time to go to sleep and not to talk about it any more until we came back to debriefing”
January 19th, 2013 at 11:46 pm
Then you’re a fool
Wasn’t it Stanton Friedman who once said “if you don’t believe in UFOs you simply haven’t examined the evidence” ?
January 20th, 2013 at 8:53 pm
Steve T, if actual physical evidence is what you need to settle your troubled mind then study the Billy Meier Contacts!
January 21st, 2013 at 8:28 am
Gary….for one thing, because he isn’t the only one who has said it. I’ve heard various bits from different sources and as I said already, Ben Rich was dying, so had nothing to gain and also nothing to lose. By that I mean, he was no longer afraid of retribution. I know you are sceptical Gary, but I believe your mind is still open. The evidence is overwhelming…..you just need to find it. May I suggest you have a look at some of the conferences? Try ‘UFO Disclosure Project-Full Version’[on YouTube]. Please don’t be put off by the first man to speak…Ha ha…I don’t know why he was even there, but suppose he could have been a sponsor. Another one I think you’ll find interesting is ‘KGB Secret Abduction Files’….I may not have the heading for that one exactly right, but it’s also on YouTube and should be easy enough to find. It’s not all about abductions either. There’s some fascinating stuff about Egypt too. See what the KGB were doing there!
January 21st, 2013 at 9:26 am
Miles,
I have and, like many, consider him a fraud. I’m open minded enough to believe that there are other beings out there, but not closed minded enough to accept everything that everyone writes as the truth.
January 21st, 2013 at 8:58 pm
T., you make it sound as if it’s a religion. Is it?!?!?!?
January 21st, 2013 at 10:09 pm
I can not believe that T.Wood had the cheek to cut and paste his standard comment to every sighting he reads about here, at the top of these replies. Marion, my apologies for this. Your account is fascinating and one of the more genuine ones on this site in my opinion, and deserves a more considered reply than T.Wood is clearly capable of. I also saw a large UFO in France a few years back, and have considered the likelihood of it being a French military project of some sort. A good starting point for you would be to google TR3B, I have wondered for years just what I saw that night and I feel you will also.
January 23rd, 2013 at 12:54 pm
Peter: I have not cut & pasted anything. My reply is nothing but considered. It is my considered opinion having studied the facts of the phenomenon for a long time, and having also seen a UFO (a flying saucer) myself. I do not believe in the crack-pot conspiracy theories that you and others continuously postulate on here, i.e. that there is some secret military/government cover-up of highly advanced technology beyond our wildest dreams that they have developed in secret and kept secret for the last few decades. The so-called TR3B is nothing but an internet rumour, and there is no proof whatsoever of it even existing.
Gary: I don’t know why you say Ufology is a “religion”, though the Beings flying these devices may well be linked to the origin of our earthly religions in some way.
January 24th, 2013 at 12:56 am
T.Wood, what conspiracy theories are those? I certainly don’t consider my comments anything of the sort. You follow that accusation with some guff about aliens and earthly religion? I spend half my time here countering your increasingly outlandish comments and accusations to the extent where I wonder whether you’re the legendary Albert posting under a different name.
January 24th, 2013 at 9:59 am
T. Wood
“The so-called TR3B is nothing but an internet rumour, and there is no proof whatsoever of it even existing.”
Exactly the same can be said, if you wish, of extra-terrestrial spacecraft, which is precisely why the sensible among us consider an earthly solution the more likely to unidentified flying objects. Furthermore, as for these ‘crackpot theories’, we know that, at times in the past, there have been “ecret military/government cover-up of highly advanced technology beyond our wildest dreams” – so why not now?
January 24th, 2013 at 11:01 pm
physical evidence in the form of radar returns and eyewitness to the object being recorded.There is evidence of an object landing in France that left radiation that could of only come from out side our atmosphere.
Two comments and when people state there is no physical evidence yet there is particular case where this piece of debris recovered in the 70-80s and every time this guy got a scientific test the lab would refuse to speak to him and refuse to give any results.
photographs, can EVEY PHOTOGRAPH out there be fake? even ones that were taken in ww2 of Foo Fighters
and the eye witness accounts multiple millions, how about all the pilots that have come forward.
how about the Canadian ex defense minister stating they do exist. HE KNOWS MORE THEN YOU AND HAD DIRECT ACCESS.
jesus when it comes to governments and military being honest well have they ever been?
military industrial complex with trillions spent and yet people think all they have developed is the jet engine?
come on people, why not do some investigating you self there is decades of evidence allen hynek the guy who pulled the famous quote of swamp gas stated that he though project blue book was there to cover up rather than investigate.
he left blue book and stated there was more investigation needed.
when the international news media is so well controlled where they never investigate anything even fraud in the markets of banks laundering money, or 45mins of WMDs then why an earth do you think they would be ALLOWED to print on secretive information?
look up an interesting documentary which is entertaining also from dan akroyd who risked ridicule yet still gave his opinions and how his documentary was pulled and covered up.
i could go on but if you will refuse to believe in a military industrial complex being so powerful and all consuming when trillions are spent yet they would not cover up this phenomenon, and you refuse to go and investigate evidence your self, then good luck.
you probably still believe in 45mins of WMDS.
rant and bad punctuation and spelling over.
January 25th, 2013 at 12:44 am
Peter: The belief in such exotic aircraft as the “TR3B” existing in secret is a conspiracy theory. You imagine that some government/military have secretly developed a craft capable of totally silent anti-gravity flight with some fantastic means of propulsion, capable of infinite acceleration, with no conventional engines or exhaust fumes/con-trails, like the type of thing we see in sci-fi movies, and they are flying these things with impunity anywhere in the world that they want, but have somehow managed to keep all of that a secret for at least 20 yrs. I say inter-dimensional ‘aliens’ sound more plausible.
January 26th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Hi Peter and all,
No worries about the comments. I don’t have enough knowledge to take part in the debate but I will remember that sighting for the rest of my life and I’m constantly looking for similar observations by other people. When I think about it now I wonder what were the odds of experiencing something like this in my life… I still can’t believe it.
I had heard of the TR3B before but in this case, I am very confident that the object wasn’t triangular. However it could be another type of military engine that we’re not aware of. I’m trying my best to find some information on the web about that e.g prototypes etc but can’t seem to find anything.
January 27th, 2013 at 12:41 pm
T.’ you still haven’t answered Steve’s question as to why inter-dimensional beings would need a means of transport, so I take what you say with a pinch of salt.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:13 am
T Wood,
Sorry to trot out the same old lines to you, but you constantly propose theories as being more ‘probable’ than possibility; take this:
“I say inter-dimensional ‘aliens’ sound more plausible.”
You’re saying that it’s more plausible that aliens travel here through alternate dimensions (which are proposed only in theory) than that governments across the world (some of whom we know spend billions on ‘black projects’) develop top secret propulsion systems and aircraft. That’s clearly nonsense, as we know from past history. Furthermore, I note the TR3B has gone from being an ‘urban myth’ to a ‘conspiracy theory’. There’s arguably more evidence for the existence of TR3B than there ever will be for inter-dimensional travel. I’ll say it again – this isn’t Star Trek, we’re talking about unidentified aircraft flying in the earth’s atmosphere. To assume they are alien is to go straight to the last possible assumption.
January 28th, 2013 at 2:56 pm
Gary……Do you know why interdimensional beings would ‘not’ need a means of transport? I would assume that unless you have travelled between dimensions, that you wouldn’t. However, if you do…..please tell the rest of us!
January 28th, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Why would you need a craft to travel inter-dimensionally Caz? Why not a “beam me up, Scottie” moment or similar? T. says everything is possible using thought, so why construct a ship to achieve that aim? Waste of resources to such an advanced civilisation I would say.
January 29th, 2013 at 12:15 am
Gary: take as much salt as you like, I don’t give a monkey’s.
SteveT: the existence of something so fantastically advanced as the presumed TR3B, or some other similar craft presumably developed in ultra secrecy and being flown over both populated and rural areas for the past 20 yrs, that utilizes some erstwhile unknown means of propulsion so far in advance of anything on earth that has ever been developed, without the open knowledge of any of our leaders or scientists, would indeed rely upon there being a conspiracy of gargantuan proportions. If you want to believe in such fanciful notions be my guest. I think inter-dimensional travel is more plausible.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:39 am
Caz,
It’s simple: they’re interdimensional, they don’t travel conventionally, according to T Wood, and for them time and space does not exist. We need craft to traverse space, and it takes time; remove the two, and you remove the need for a craft. Furthermore, T Wood had explained that these Venusian beings are non-physical; that means they would not have the problem of a body, a digestive system, would not need to breathe etc; given that, and the fact they move through dimensions, why would they require a craft?
January 29th, 2013 at 10:10 pm
Sorry Gary…..Didn’t realise we were discussing ‘non-corporeal’ interdimensional beings only. Of course they would not need a craft! Thank you Steve!
January 30th, 2013 at 9:15 am
T Wood
“I think inter-dimensional travel is more plausible”
…and then accuse me of having ‘fanciful notions’ that it’s just possible the military of this world have secret craft? We KNOW they spend billions on ‘black projects’; Aurora is widely accepted to be a name for a programme covering the development of advanced hypersonic aircraft of various natures! You make so many assumptions: that inter-dimensional travel is possible, that there are beings out there more advanced than us, just two stumbling blocks to begin with. Don’t you see where you’re going wrong?
January 30th, 2013 at 9:36 pm
And still you trot out the same nonsense, T. I give up :/
