On the 30th of January 2009 around 5 pm. Mr. Marcin K. walked along the crowded pavement of the Pieniezny Street located in the center of Olsztyn (northern Poland). Suddenly he noticed 3 spheres of light in the sky above the building on the opposite side of the street.


At first he thought that objects making the triangle formation are motionless but later he noticed that they are moving slowly at the same direction maintaining the same distance from each other.

After few second one of the objects started to fade as the "triangle" began to "rotate" to the right. Additionally witness had an impression that spheres are rotating fast around their own axis. He assumed they are about 50-70 meters above him. He grabbed his cell-phone and stared to film this unusual phenomenon.

The whole observation lasted 4 or 5 minutes. At the end the second sphere started to fade and finally also the last one disappeared. During the sighting the witness changed his point of observation. Just before its disappearance the last object started to make strange figures, changing it's directions. Then it stopped and moved again.

The witness assumed the size of the objects as a 1/4 - 1/5 of the size of the Moon. They had a bright white color with a reddish glow. They were very distinct on a late afternoon sky. According to his opinion the spheres possessed their own source of light. There were no sounds coming from the orbs.

A significant element of the observation was that only the witness focused his attention on the objects despite the fact that the street was quite crowded.

After finishing filming witness felt some kind of dissatisfaction that he could not make a better documentation of the phenomenon.

The incident was covered by local media. The news was aired by TVP Olsztyn. Journalists asked various scientists (astronomers, meteorologists) and army officials about the phenomena but they could not provide any rational explanation of the sighting.

Anyway, recently lots of reports of similar characteristics appeared. Silent bright spheres were also seen in Łódź, Częstochowa and Wrzosowa etc. In most of the cases such an aerial phenomena were explained as caused by so called "Chinese lanterns". Therefore according to our opinion there is a strong possibility that Mr. Marcin witnessed another of their appearance.
