Close Encounter | Falaise #85 | 20221021 | Michel van der Burg | 1-memo•com | Close encounters of the First Kind with the Normandy seagulls at the high white chalk cliffs of Le Tréport in France, May 2022. The several warning beeps on the drone controller indicated UFOs nearby … next an attacking gull hit the camera in the gimbal of the Mavic Air drone (and one antenna) downward – no lasting damage done – as shown in slowmotion of the attack in yesterday’s Youtube “Shorts” : Drone Attack | 20221020 https://youtu.be/JwuKBsNRr0c
Following the attack, the gull is braking : twisting its wings and the tail is spread open and lowered to act as a brake.

The Old Fortress of Corfu , Greece – here filmed 29 September 2022 – was used at the end of World War II by the Nazis to imprison the Jews of Corfu prior to their deportation from the island (Ref 1). Greek resistance fighter Manolis Glézos (Sep 1922 – Mar 2020) – who tore down the swastika from the Acropolis in May 1941 – was confined in a cellar there (Ref 2, 3). Last month, 28 September 2022, holocaust survivor Mr Simon Gronowski – escapee from the 20th prisoners’ train convoy to Auschwitz (Ref 4) – spoke in the European Parliament at the Centennial celebration of the birth of Manolis Glézos, on the resistance against fascism, nazism, imperialism and the daily fight for democracy (Ref 5, 6, 7) . Mr Simon Gronowski (born 12 oktober 1931 in Brussels) is celebrating today his 91th birthday … congrats … La vie est belle !
