The photos published by French ufologist, Christian Maceo in his blog, were made, according to the author, who preferred to remain anonymous, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 at 17:55. At that time the witness was in Lisbon. The sky was azure blue, without any clouds.

Upon arriving at the Marquês de Pombal square where the memorial statue of the man, he made a great shot, which found the presence of a UFO! An object similar to a dark flying saucer, has impressive clarity. It is an oval. It is seen that it is dark gray in the center, and the outline is much darker.

Skeptics will say that it's just a street lamp. Indeed, you can think of. However, looking at pictures of this place, this place has no street lamp. This hypothesis, slightly grotesque and should be discarded. But then what is it? The alien ship ? Supernatural drone?

Original news

Cet été, le Portugal connait une hausse étonnante des observations d’OVNI. Des quatre coins du pays des témoins affirment avoir repéré d’étranges objets dans le ciel. En juillet 2013, c’est une soucoupe volante qui a été photographiée en pleine journée, en plein cœur de Lisbonne …

La photo, publiée par l’ufologue français Christian Macé sur son blog,  a été prise, selon l’auteur qui a préféré garder l’anonymat, le mercredi 17 juillet 2013 à 17 heures 55précisément. A ce moment-là, le témoin se trouvait dans la capitale lisboète. Le ciel était d’un bleu azur, sans qu’aucun nuage ne vienne obscurcir ce temps idyllique.

Arrivant à la place Marques de Pombal,  où se trouve la mémorable statue de cet homme qui fit entrer le Portugal dans une nouvelle ère, il prit un magnifique cliché sur lequel il constata la présence d’un OVNI ! L’objet, qui ressemble à une sombre soucoupe volante, est d’une netteté impressionnante. Il est de forme ovale. On peut constater qu’il est d’une couleur gris foncé en son centre, alors que son contour est beaucoup plus foncé.

Les sceptiques diront qu’il s’agit là simplement d’un lampadaire. Effectivement, on pourrait le penser. Toutefois, lorsque l’on regarde des photographies de ce lieu historique, on constate qu’il n’y a pas de lampadaire à cet endroit. Cette hypothèse, un peu grotesque, est donc à écarter.

Mais alors, de quoi s’agit-il ? Un vaisseau extraterrestre ? Un drone à l’allure surnaturelle ?

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Уличный фонарь

In many cities (especially European) are widely distributed street lights, weighing on an extension wire. Sometimes, when photographing a landscape, a lantern in the sky can be mistaken for a UFO if the wires will not be visible (e.g. under a certain angle).

It happens that the author deliberately blurs the wires.

Sometimes these lights are used for an intentional imitation of a UFO due to osobennostei design.

Sometimes a UFO can be taken lights caught in the frame part, or as a contrast object against a plain background when shooting at night.
