SIGHTING: PARIS, ÎLE-DE-FRANCE (FRANCE)

Witness Testimony

"After visiting a nearby museum, i was walking back to the nearest subway station. it was raining quite heavily and along the way (75007, 12-18 avenue de la bourdonnais) i simply took some pictures of the eiffel tower. in fact i did not see that object in the sky until i downloaded the photos on my pc, probably because of the light of the beacon and the hurry in getting not too wet meanwhile. there are 5 pictures in total, taken from two spots in about 90 meters distance (at coordinates 48°51'35"n 2°17'46"e and 48°51'33"n 2°17'48"e). i took the photos with an iphone 5 at 07:07pm local time (first 3 photos) and 07:08pm local time (last 2 photos), in less than a 60 seconds span. good to know: the eiffel tower is located inside the perimeter of the city where only police and enforcement agencies can fly their helicopters. the size and oval/roundish shape of the object, its white/bright blue color, the sudden v-turn do not seem to comply with standard maneuvers of a standard vehicle. the beacon of the eiffel tower takes less than 60 seconds to complete a full 360 degrees circle. the object first moved in n-e direction, then disappeared in s-w direction.
