Full Report
The witness’ relation:
On October 24, shortly after 22 h, in Ljubljana [Slovenia], I and another person observed a small silvery object – very much like a distant shiny star – move swiftly in the general direction S-SW.
At first, I thought it was a star. Then it seemed to move. I thought it was a satellite, then. But the next second the object disappeared – only to reappear at a spot that definitely wasn’t indicative of a straight trajectory [such as the trajectory of an space- or aircraft]. In other words: the object appeared to be “zigzagging” across the sky. There may have been some very high-altitude clouds – though the sky seemed clear – but the object moved in “flickers” – i.e. we could not follow its trajectory, because it kept flashing – appearing and disappearing.
But even if its trajectory was partly covered by clouds, it was quite obvious that it wasn’t moving in a straight or any kind of “normal” line. It kept “jumping” up and down, left and right.
The entire sighting lasted no more than a few seconds.
I don’t think very many people here saw it. The reason for that is banal in the extreme: at 22 h most people are glued to their TV sets watching the late evening news. [It’s like a ritual.]
But the two of us who witnessed it KNOW that what we saw – whatever it was – was REAL. We tried to contact some other sky watchers from the area – making it very clear that we were under no influence of “substances” and that our sky-watching experience is substantially above average.
It didn’t seem to help much. The replies were as expected: from a very mild expression of interest to the usual “eye-rolling” sermons, telling us [without even knowing to whom they were talking] that it was probably an effect of our bodies trying to maintain balance, or that it was an optical illusion of some kind – etc.
I don’t know what it was.
But I do know that it was NO “optical illusion”.
