No major military objects. One Power plant some 2 km away to the south . This &#8220;thing&#8221;did go that direction<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Description &amp; Details:\u00a0<\/strong>I was playing soccer with my 9 year old kid on our terrace in Zagreb. Suddenly my son stopped playing, looked into the sky and asked &#8220;daddy, what&#8217;s that&#8221;. Later he told me that he looked up because he heard strange buzz. I didn&#8217;t hear anything.<\/p>\n<p>This object was exactly above our heads and approaching vertically, almost like falling.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot exactly say how close it was, because I have no idea about the size of this thing, but If I have to guess it would be 300-500 meters.<\/p>\n<p>After initial shock, maybe 10 or 15 seconds I ran into the room to grab the camera. It took maybe 15-30 seconds to find it and turn it on. By the time I got back on the terrace, object changed the direction and it was at least 2 km away. It was already difficult to find it through the camera screen. My camera has only 6x zoom, and I cannot remember if I used it or not.<\/p>\n<p>Few seconds later there was no sense taking more photos&#8230;this was just small black dot in the sky going south very fast.<\/p>\n<p>I sent a photo to my pilot friend in Geneve in Switzerland, and he told me to report this to ufoevidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?<\/strong> \u00a0I really don&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Witness Background:\u00a0<\/strong>Manager in small company \/ naval architect BSE \/ 2nd job, working in energy supplies sector (power plants, refineries), married, 1 kid, traveling a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Views on UFOs, before and after sighting:\u00a0<\/strong>I&#8217;ve heard witness stories, read Arthur Clark, watched x-files&#8230;but that&#8217;s about it<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Comments:\u00a0<\/strong>I would appreciate expert opinion about my photograph. thanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reported Sighting?<\/strong> No<\/p>\n<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> Srdjan Martincic<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Zagreb, Croatia Age: 33<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following was submitted to UFOEvidence.
