Friesenheim Passive Radar: World's First Technical Confirmation of a Visual UFO Sighting
A federal police employee in Friesenheim-Oberweier, Germany, observed a bright, wave-like aerial phenomenon at 05:34 MESZ. Simultaneously, a private passive radar station operated by GEP investigator Josef Garcia, located approximately 1 km from the witness, recorded a corroborating signal. This represents the first-ever independent passive radar confirmation of a visual UFO sighting worldwide.
