Strange object over Poland's Silesia

About 10 minutes ago, my girlfriend called me over to take a look outside:
there was a strange light just sitting in the sky, it almost looked like it was aflame.
Now ten minutes later there are at least 6 planes criss-crossing over that area.
Anyone else notice this?

Has it been on the news...? tell us more if you hear anything...

nothing at onet.pl
nothing on tvn24

Nothing on dlapilota, but it sounds like a flare. Are you close to a military base?

like this:



check:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

Which part of Silesia, For4? If it were Gliwice, I may be able to see it, esp given my 180x100 binoculars :)

It could be a jet fighter dumping fuel and igniting it...

it was all just finishing up as I was typing. I guess it was more around 15 min. prior to my typing it.
The initial light was odd, given the perceived distance from where I am it must have been quite large (comparing also to the jet that appeared later) but it didn't seem to move. I went back to cooking then when I went back to check it was gone but jets were criss crossing the area. The 2 that were closest to my location appeared to be the same and crossed very very close to eachother- there's no way, with the amount of available airspace that commercial pilots would do that.

Maybe the Russians attacked us! Let's turn on tv! ;DDDD

Did you record it? Maybe post it on YT and ask people whether they've seen it...

i've already checked youtube. nothing there

Don,t think so...they are too busy snow shovelling...

I know what it was:

Aha...the x37b... was it in Poland then....?

I was in Gliwice in the city centre at that time haven't seen anything unusual.. just drunk people and mental drivers ; o

Yup, I can confirm that, frd ;) ;)

If I saw a strange object, I would wonder if I was still high or hallucinating. Nope, all black tonight.

So was it this x37b thing then...or has it not been explained yet...?

High on my list of places to visit when I will be in Poland, is the monument to the Emilcin Abduction incident in Emilcin, Lublin Voivodeship.

It was there, that farmer Jan Wolski was famously abducted in May 1978 by two green men, and then forced to sit in a spaceship naked while being offered icicles to snack on.

Please share your own abduction stories here, but only if they happened in Poland.

Why? Is there anything else interesting there apart from that odd memorial? Booooring...

You better come to Gdańsk, so I'll abduct you to a good knajpa for a glass of something stronger :)

@GefreiterKania

Oh sh!t. You told me you were a Pomeranian, but I did not think you were from Gdańsk. Nice man! I really want to visit Gdańsk - all my life been wanting to go there.

Rapidly moving on. It seems you have a somewhat dismissive attitude to Poland's history vis-à-vis unidentified flying objects. Is it so fantastic to you, that people would want to travel the galaxy only to abduct a Polish farmer? Some people already claim that Polish people are extraterrestrials - and if you follow the evidence you will begin to see that it is more than just rumor. Don't hate, if you don't understand.

Look, we don't want you people know that. You would be pest asking for a hike. Better to keep it secret.

And rightly so! I was in Florence with my wife once, got a local newspaper on arriving and read an article in it encouraging people to visit "Danzica magica" lol So, I said to her that we had driven (my better half is not a fan of flying) so far only to be told to go back home to a magical city of Gdańsk.

Anyway, make sure to let me know when you're around.


Of course we are. And we have secret weapons that make your nuclear bombs look like kindergarten toys, so keep that in mind.

Probably just a Russian testing craft trying to scare people, you guys.

What about ufo disaster in port of Gdynia 1959?

There's a thread about UFOs in Poland.

Anyway, I think they're called UAPs nowadays.

What happened in Gdynia? Were there little green men?

LOL!!!!

These people.are.nuts.......

Delirium Tremens, known colloquially in some English-speaking countries as "the shakes", or "seeing pink elephants" - is often known to cause visual hallucinations of "little green men". However, we can safely rule out alcohol withdrawal as the reason for these absolutely factual events because as with the farmer and so with the people from Gdynia - all affirmed they were sober on that day.

Must be true then
