We are in Germany tonight to hear about Patrick’s encounter. On July 25th, 2013, near the French border in Germany, Patrick and Luisa were outside smoking when we observed an unusual event at around 10:30pm. They first saw three bright stars descending quickly, followed by the appearance of a large, silent, pitch-black triangular craft hovering about 30 feet above them. The craft had very bright, “pure” lights that were not blinding. They felt paralysed and time seemed to stand still, with no sounds from the usual nocturnal wildlife. The object then moved erratically, like a ping pong ball, before accelerating away at an astonishing speed, all, without any sound.
