SIGHTING: ANSBACH (GERMANY)

Witness Testimony

"Almost a shooting star execpt for the 90 degree turnI was an M.P. stationed in Ansbach Germany in the summer of 1996. The bases we had to patrol were spread out and it was common to drive many miles of fields and farms between housing areas. I was driving from one housing area to another on midnights in an isolated area. I saw a light headed straight for the ground at a high rate of speed. Even though it was moving too fast and was far away I believed it was a helicopter or plane crashing. I was at an aviation base and had recently had a helicopter go down. I came to a stop in the middle of the road hoping it wasn't going to be a crash. The object did a 90 turn and shot back out and disappeared in a matter of seconds. Upon reflection later I realized the speed had been too fast for a crashing plane or helicopter. The sharpness of the turn and speed is what really confused me. I can not say for sure what this was. I was at an aviation base and was familiar with many type of aircraft but this not anything I had seen before.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
