July 17, 2007 at 18:40 Liviu Oprya, 47, a former aviation officer and military air traffic controller, currently a shift supervisor at the Muntele-Rosu Seismic Observatory, took pictures over the city of Keia using a FUJI A345 digital camera. 4.1M, photo of a mountain landscape, at the rate of 270 (west). Renata's daughter Oprya was also there.

It was only when he uploaded the image to his computer that he noticed a small object in the shape of a very wide hat or a bell with a pompom on top, hovering over the mountains. He contacted his former colleagues (ACC Bucharest traffic authority) and asked them if they had planes in the area at that time or if they noticed something on the radars in my area; He then spoke to the shift supervisor from COAP (General Air Operations Directorate) and asked him if anything unusual had been reported in Romanian airspace. No one could identify the ghost.

Liviu Oprya regrets that the object is far away, the image is fuzzy. It couldn't have been a plane, because none of the witnesses heard any noise, and the shape doesn't resemble a PUMA SOCAT military helicopter or an E35 Eurocopter. 

Original news

Pe 17 iulie 2007 la orele 18:40, Liviu Oprea de 47 ani, fost ofiter de aviatie si controlor de trafic aerian militar, in prezent sef de tura la Obsevatorul seismic Muntele Rosu, a facut deasupra localitatii Cheia, cu un aparat digital FUJI A345 de 4,1M, o fotografie cu un peisaj montan, pe directia 270 (vest). Era de fata si fiica lui Renata Oprea.

Abia cand a descarcat imaginea pe calculator a observat un mic obiect in forma de palarie sau clopot foarte larg, cu un pompon deasupra, plutind deasupra muntilor. A luat legatura cu fostii colegi (organul de trafic ACC Bucureşti) si i-a intrebat daca la ora respectiva au avut aeronave in zona sau daca ei au observat ceva pe radare in zona mea; apoi a vorbit cu seful de tura de la COAP (comandamentul operational aerian principal) si l-a intrebat daca s-a raportat ceva deosebit in spatiul aerian al Romaniei. Nimeni nu a putut identifica aparitia.

Lui Liviu Oprea ii pare rau ca obiectul fiind departat, imaginea nu este clara. Nu putea fi un avion, deoarece nici unul dintre martori nu a auzit vreun zgomot iar forma nu seamana cu elicopterul militar PUMA SOCAT si nici cu eurocopterul E35.
