TESTIMONIES OF FRENCH PILOTS

 

Three French pilots confronted, in flight, with UFO came to testify in front of the committee. Their testimonies are all the more interesting as belonging to the world of the aeronautics, they know how to appreciate better than the others the air phenomena.

 

FLIGHT AF 3532 AIR FRANCE (IN JANUARY 28, 1994)

 

This flight assures the connection Nice - London.

At 13. 14, while they are in flight of cruise for the height of 11900 m, in the neighborhood of Coulommiers in Seine-et-Marne, by excellent weather conditions, the leader steward, then present in the cockpit, indicates a phenomenon appearing to him to be a meteorological balloon. The observation is immediately confirmed by the co-pilot. The pilot, who sees it in his turn, thinks first of all that it is about a plane in bend in 45 ° of slope. Very quickly however, all the three agree to notice that what they see looks like nothing of it that they know. The excellent visibility and the presence of altocumulus allow to the pilot to consider that the phenomenon is for the height of 10 500 m and at a distance about 50 km. Considering the visible diameter, they deduct from it that the machine is tall. They are struck by the changes of shape of the machine which appears to them first of all under the aspect of a bell of brown color, before being transformed into lens of color brown - chestnut, then disappearing on the left of the device in a quasi-immediate way, as if it had become suddenly invisible.

The pilot reports in the center of control of the aviation of Reims which has no information about any presence of air motive in the neighborhood. However, in application of the existing procedure, Reims informs the centre of operations of the air defence TAVERNY'S ( CODA) of the observation made by the crew and asks to the pilot to apply from the landing the procedure "Airmiss ". CODA registered effectively at the same moment a radar track introduced by the mission control of corresponding Cinq-Mars-la-Pile in place and in the hour to the observed phenomenon. This radar track, which was recorded during 50 seconds, crosses well the trajectory of the flight AF 3532 and corresponds to no deposited flight plan.

It is necessary to note that the phenomenon disappears at the same moment in the sight of the crew and the scopes radar. The investigations led by CODA allow at the same moment to exclude the hypothesis of the meteorological balloon and to know the precise distance of crossing of both trajectories and consequently to return to 250 m of length the rough size of the machine. It is to note that the regional centre of the aviation ( CRNA) North, which handles 3000 movements a day, educated only three cases, among which that of the flight AF 3532, in the last seven years.
