Size of Object(s)Impossible for me to have guaged this. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeSeemed it was approximately 5 miles (8 km) Shape of Object(s)Like the blade of a knife; not entirely straight Color of Object(s):stainless steel/ very bright Full Description & DetailsMy first thought was that this object was a weather balloon. (Told later by reliable individuals that Geneva, nor Lausanne ever had any weather balloons then-or before.)
Witness BackgroundNew Yorker ; liived in Switzerland from 1970 to mid-1974. Home at lakeside mid-way between Geneva and Lausanne. at first sighting I thought it must be an airplane coming in to Geneva's airport; realized with shock that it did not move or have ANY sound (as in engines). And~ airport did not open until 6:00 a.m. Many of my neighbors were not at all surprised when I questioned them. They said that there were, constantly, reports from pilots about "UFO's".
