UFO's and Defense What Should we Prepare For

IAntananarivo. It was seen by several hundred witnesses.
At 1700 hours, when the personnel of the Air France office were waiting for the mail to Ianive, someone spotted a "large ·· green "ball" in the sky moving at high speed. The first
thought of the witnesses was that it was a meteorite. The phenomenon disappeared
behind a hill, and they thought that the green ball was going to crash into the ground and , ,
that they were going to feel the impact.
However, it reappeared after a minute. In passing directly over the observers, it
revealed itself to be "a sort ofmetal rugby hall preceded by a clearly detached green Ilens/-shaped portion] with sparks issuingfrom the rear." In the estimation of the
witnesses, the "ball" was the length ofa DC4 airplane, or some forty meters long. The
green lens[-shaped portion] separated itself [and remained] a little less than 40 m out in Ifront, with fairly long sparks [coming out] in the rear. The craft flew over Antananarivo at
an estimated height of 50 to 100 meters, an estimation that was made possible by
comparison with the height ofa nearby hill. When the craft was moving, shop lights went Iout, and animals exhibited a real anxiety. e
After having flown over Antananarivo, the craft departed in a westerly direction. When
it flew over the zebu park in the town, the craft caused a violent fright reaction among
them. This is a surprising detail, since normally these animals do not show any agitation
when Air France planes pass by. Two or three minutes later, an identical craft was
observed 150 km from there above a farm school. There, too, the herds were overcome "Iwith panic. If the craft sighted was the same one as the one in Antananarivo, its speed
would have had to be on the order of3000 km/h. According to C 's account, General
Fleurquin, Commander-in-Chief in Madagascar, assembled a "scientific commission" to Iconduct an investigation into these phenomena. No trace of this investigation could be
found in the Air Force archives; however, GEPA (Groupe d' Etudes des Phenomenes
Aerospatiaux [Aerospace Phenomena Study Group]) bulletin no. 6 of the 2nd half of 1964 Idescribed this sighting .
3.2 Sighting by a Pilot of a Saucer Close to the Ground (December 9, 1979) I
GEPANISEPRA investigation and testimony before the committee
At the time of the incident, former Air Force Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Pierre Fartek (F) Iwas a Mirage III pilot in the 2nd fighter squadron at Dijon. F is currently a pilot for a
private company. F was living, and still lives, in the same village near Dijon. His house is
located at the end of a housing development looking out onto fields. Approximately 250 Im away is a grove of trees with an average height of 15 mat maximum. On December 9,
1979, at around 9: 15 a.m., F and his wife saw an unusual object (hereinafter called M) in
the field near their house. The weather and visibility were excellent. M, the dimensions of Iwhich they estimated to be 20 m in diameter by 7 m thick, was hovering approximately 3
m above the g round in front of the grove of trees, which partially concealed it. In
complete agreement with his wife, witness F described it as: I- having the shape of two superposed saucers with very distinct contours inverted one
on top of the other and not exhibiting any portholes or lights,
- being metallic gray on the upper portion and darker (bluish) on the lower portion, Iwith a perfectly delimited separation between the upper side and the underside ofthe craft.
Th.is color difference could not be due to a difference in lighting g iven the position of the
sun, i- in constant motion as a result of~ slight oscillations, the frequency of which was
not very rapid, like something trying to balance,
