An open record of things people cannot explain

Charente, France · 1981-10--- · from the GEIPAN archive

Photographed in Charente, France

In the course of the month of October 1981, between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., a person finishes a roll of photographic film by taking the last shots from his parents' apartment. He photographs the city lights. Once the slides are developed by a private laboratory, he notices the presence of a particular luminous point on one of them. Having a 13x18 enlargement printed on paper, he then sees an object foreign to the natural setting and resembling a flying saucer. He then decides to make a statement to the gendarmerie and leaves a sketch of the photograph. No other information will be collected on this sighting.
