22 October 2008 At that night we ( My dad , girlfriend , daughter son and me ) stayed in a rented upper floor of a nice house in Merzbach, Germany , close to our family were we spend our vacation with. My girlfriend and I are smokers and we had to smoke on the balcony, I did that at 22.00 hour on my own , went to the balcony, sat down and started to smoke. I looked over the rail and You can see the lights of Rheinbach , a little town nearby. Nice view and cold. Then I noticed a very bright star. Straight above Rheinbach . Now I took a good look and noticed that it could not be a star! Somehow I could see it was within our atmosphere so quickly yelled inside 'UFO UFO !!!' , my son was asleep and stayed so and my daughter rushed out of her bed towards the balcony. Seconds later my dad together with my girlfriend appeared from the living room. Clever of my girlfriend to bring the camera along. I took it over and at 22.06 I started to film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5q6dnaQczo&feature=PlayList&p=BBB26CC1BC8BBED4&index=0 . I recorded five minutes and after a short moment of filming I putted the camera on the rail of the balcony because I did not had a tripod with me. The rail was rounded a bit , thats why you see the pretty straight left right and up down movements. Hard to balance but much better then free hand. This recording has been witnessed of four people. During the first recording my daughter, girlfriend and dad went back inside because they where very tired. I kept on filming , I was very excited.The Orb star object stayed stationary for about 15 minutes and left very slowly to the distance. The second take (22.36) I noticed the 'orange cloud' . Thats how I saw it with the naked eye.When I zoomed in on this 'cloud' it appeared to be a fleet of orbs? I don't know. Zoomed some times wrong. The recording take 2 is pretty horrible and hard to see. On Take 3 (22.43) The star orb like object returned. This one is a real great recording. The Orb were getting more colorful flashy orbs and even at one point it glows up very bright. Much brighter then Sirius, after that it breaks apart. It looked like if it were different orbs holding together and let go after a while. On the little camera screen however it came on to me as it was an airplane. I did not put this one on the net for four months. When I took a good look again after that four months I discovered it never could be a plane! And put it on the net then. Take 4 , 5 and 6 are recordings of the fleet or cloud. It moved , I had to film it free handed and at a certain point of time I could push the camera against the roof for better stability. Due to .dv to .mpg to Youtube the quality became worse. I have this sighting in DV files and can burn a DVD from it.For the highest quality For research etc. please contact me!
