Dear readers, I haven't posted many translation lately, been busy on assisting CSETI for the Montreal Conference with Dr. Steven Greer.
I'll be back to update and translate more of the "D" cases as soon as I can.
Thank you for you patience.
Richard Lalancette.

| Summary | Observation of long duration of the evolutions of a cylindrical object at low altitude. |
| Detailed description | On October 9, 1994 towards 9h30, two witnesses in post while hunting observe a object projecting metal reflections. This object moves slowly at a height estimated to be 1 meter from the ground. The object crosses a field while following the contour of the ground before continuing its movement going higher in altitude. The object can be describes as the shape of a cylinder of 2 meters to approximately 2,5 meters: it was located at approximately 400 meters of the witness. It emitted a light with red and blue rays. The object remained completely quiet and generated no traces nor smoke. The second witness, brother of the first, were located in a place different from the first witness and described the phenomenon in the same terms but locate the object at an altitude of approximately 50 meters above the ground. The observation which lasted approximately 30 minutes, could not be explained. |

While attempting to translate the police and witness statements, I came to conclusion that the quality of the scans are too poor to do a near automated translation.
I will have to postpone the translation of those documents until I find a better automatic method.
All the links to the digitised statement in PDF format were added and fixed.
Don't hesitate to report mistakes directly to Richard or Brian.
Enjoy.

| Summary | Observation of yellow and green balls ten times larger than a star, moving in and out over great distance. |
| Detailed description | On May 2, 2004 around 23:30 and on May 3 around 20:30, a witness and his son, attracted by the bleating sheep, observed several balls moving in the sky. These yellow and green balls were approximately ten times larger than a star and were moving together over vast distance. The phenomenon was quiet and the brightness of the balls was such as it was difficult to look them with a binocular. On May 2 the phenomenon lasted approximately 3 hours and the balls were in a V formation before disappearing. On May 3 the phenomenon lasted only approximately 15 minutes. |

| Summary | Observation of a sphere moving at high speed from an ultra-light aircraft. |
| Detailed description | On May 16, 1993 around 19:15, two passengers of a ULA flight observe in the distance, a bluish sphere which turns on itself while moving at high speed. The weather and visibility are excellent. The sphere quickly approaches the ULA flight and passes it at high speed. The observation lasted between 15 to 20 seconds. The investigation near the civil authorities and military didn't allow to identify the phenomenon. The object was not identified to any conventional aircraft and was not detected by the radars. This phenomenon remains unexplained. |

| Summary | Observation of a luminous disc with three bright lights on the circumference. |
| Detailed description | On March 10, 1994 at 20:45, two witnesses observe white lights which intrigue them. They observe a circular form then including on its circumference three lights red, green and white, turning on the periphery of the disc. This disc moves rather quickly in straight line under the cloudy ceiling. The observation lasted about fifteen seconds. No radar detection comes to corroborate this observation which remains unexplained. |

| Summary | Observation of a luminous rectangle. |
| Detailed description | On January 9, 1994 around 19:30, a young woman and her friend in their car observe a luminous rectangular form in the sky. Having stopped their vehicle, they observe this form which is lighted with white and red lights. Having lost sight of it, they go back in the car to find a better point of observation. They stop again and the young woman sees an egg shaped form with the same red and white lights, which seems to come in their direction. She is taken by fear and requests her companion, who did not see this last observation, to leave again as fast as possible. No explanation could be found with this quiet phenomenon which remained unexplained. |
