In July 2011 I was contacted via Richard Hall’s website by a British company director named Stephen Joseph. He let me know about two stunning sightings he had witnessed the previous year while over in Greece where his company was operating from. These sightings appeared to be of the same or a very similar object, one which clearly displayed advanced intelligent manoeuvres.
30th August 2010 Sighting
At 1am on the 30th August 2010 Stephen was sitting out on the balcony of his house in Arkitsa, Fthiotida, Greece. It was a clear still night and the stars were visible overhead. He was having a cup of tea and looking at his neighbours three storey house across the road.
He happened to glance to his right and noticed a light in the sky. He saw a glowing sphere of white light approaching extremely rapidly. It was at least 1 km away from his position, and looked to be moving faster than 200 mph. The object continued to approach until it was right above his neighbours house. It then immediately stopped, with no deceleration visible at all!
The object appeared to be about 1 metre in diameter. It was glowing extremely brightly but had clearly defined edges and did not light up the surrounding area at all. Stephen noticed that it appeared to be rotating on the spot. It was hovering about 3 metres above the roof of the house. He got the sense that it was looking into the property and was also aware of his presence.
After about 10 seconds it started to move again, this time much slower. It followed the roofline of the property, slowly descending. It then descended down next to the house until it was about 3 metres off the ground. Then suddenly it massively increased in speed and shot away across the fields towards the mountains in the distance! It covered 2 km in about 2 seconds and was lost from sight. It moved so fast that it left a glowing line of light as it went, which was visible right to the mountains for a brief moment.
Stephen was amazed at what he had just witnessed. It was clear that the glowing sphere had been under intelligent control, and that it had visited his neighbours property for a specific reason.
November 2010 Sighting
Several months after his initial sighting, Stephen once again witnessed the same or a very similar object. Once again he was out on the balcony of his home, and this time a friend was also present. This time the object was seen in the distance above the Egnatia Road, a nearby motorway that runs alongside the mountains behind Stephen’s home. Just like last time it was seen to travel at an incredibly fast speed in excess of Mach 1, and left a trace line behind it. Due to the similarities in appearance and movement it is probable that this was either the same object, or another of the same type.
Conclusions
These sightings are both very impressive due to the manoeuvres the object was seen to perform, especially during the initial incident. It was clearly under intelligent control due to the fact that it approached then immediately stopped over the roof of the neighbouring house, then moved around the side of it before flying away.
The incredible speed and acceleration that it demonstrated numerous times immediately puts out of the question the idea that it was a white LED balloon or other glowing inflatable. It is also very unlikely to have been a remote controlled model or secret military craft, for what purpose would they build a glowing spherical object and then fly it in close proximity to a residential area?
I feel there is a high chance that the object seen was an advanced craft. Spheres are one of the more commonly reported craft types, and they are often seen to glow brightly after dark in the manner described by the witness. Due to their relative small size, they are probably un-manned and used for observational purposes.
The fact that the object was seen twice in the same area within a three month period is very interesting, and tends to suggest that it had been flying around and possibly monitoring the area for a period of time, though this is just a theory. We can only speculate on why it stopped over the neighbouring household – perhaps it was specifically interested in one or more of the occupants. Perhaps it was monitoring Stephen not the neighbours at all, and just happened to stop over their home. Perhaps it was not monitoring anyone and just happened to stop in the area for another reason. It is impossible to know its real agenda, but the witness sensed that it was performing a scan of some kind.
Other than the close proximity of the initial sighting, there is not much to indicate that it was directly interacting with Stephen. It is more likely that it was flying around the area for a while and he happened to see it on two occasions. It is probable that there were other witnesses to it, perhaps people driving along the road in the second incident.
