Tunisia

On July 17, 1988, I was lying on the terrace with my brother and cousin, looking up at the stars and talking. 

Suddenly, my brother tells us to look at the plane lights coming from far away. They looked strange because we were used to the flashing lights of airplanes. Anyway, we kept looking at it until something hit us: there were three disks of orange light forming a triangle moving together (we later learned that it was part of one huge saucer-like shape). the three lights were coming closer. 

We started to get a little worried because the lights were getting bigger, but we couldn't see the saucer as a whole. We got up and ran and hid, but we were still looking at the lights. When we saw them, the lights were moving at a speed of 30 km / h and suddenly flew away like a shooting star.

We couldn't believe our eyes and stared at each other, trying to explain what had just happened. Since I was really skeptical about anything involving UFOs or the paranormal, I didn't have an answer for that. 

However, the next day on the Italian channel, it was announced in the news that the Belgian Air Force had discovered a UFO and was being chased by 2 F16s. An amateur video was shown, and we saw three lights.

Original news

On July 17th, 1988, I was lying on the terrace with my brother and cousin watching the stars and talking. All of a sudden my brother tells us to look at the plane lights coming from afar. They looked strange because we were used to a flashing light coming from planes. Anyway, we kept looking at it until something hit us; there were three disks of orange light forming a triangle moving together ( afterward we knew it was part of one huge saucer-like shape). the three lights were getting closer. We started to freak out a little because the lights were getting bigger but we could not see the saucer as a whole. We got up, ran, and hid but still looking at the lights. The lights moved at a speed of 30 km/h when we saw them and suddenly they zipped away like a shooting star.

We could not believe our eyes and started looking at each other trying to explain what has just happened. As I was really skeptical of everything that had to do with ufos or paranormal, I had no answer to that. However, the next day on the Italian channel in the news, they announced that the Belgian Military air force detected a UFO and 2 F16s chased it. An amateur video was shown and there were the three lights we saw.
