- At approximately 15.30 Local Time (13.30 GMT), today,
July 15th, 2010, passing over Zuerich, Switzerland and environs, what sounded
like at least one and perhaps two if not three very large flights of heavy
planes very high up and out of sight of this author, passed over Swiss
territory.
-
- The sound began with an indefinite roar like continuous
heavy thunder in the distance, but without ceasing, even after a few minutes
had passed, so it could not have been thunder. It might have been an approaching
earthquake, but no quake came.
-
- After several minutes [!] there was a lull in the sound,
at which point it resumed again after a minute or so and persisted for
several more minutes, although this second period might have been slightly
shorter than the first. This happened between a little before 15.30 (03.30
PM) local and 15.40 or twenty-to-four, in other words, over a duration
of at least 10 minutes.
-
- A telephone call to a friend on the Lake of Constance,
North-East of here, caused her to go out on her balcony a few minutes after
the call, which itself had endured a few minutes, and then she called me
back, confirming what had sounded like very large flights of heavy planes
high up, perhaps, she thought, heading toward the US Air Force base at
Ramstein in Germany.
-
- >From their estimated North-Easterly course, it would
appear that they might have come from the South-West, but that they could
have taken off from bases in Southern European territory seems unlikely,
as the presence of such an amassing of heavy aircraft would have been very
blatant and certainly arouse comment that would quickly become public.
Locally, apart from France and Britain, there are few air-forces that
might muster such large flights. Of these options, their course might
have indicated an origin in France, but the same conditions of unwanted
observation pertain there too, so it is not impossible that they might
have flown in all the way from the United States.
-
- Let us hope that this does not augur impending hostilities
somewhere.
