An account in Var, France

On February 19, 1982, at around 6:30 PM, two witnesses observed a very bright stationary point much larger than the evening star. Near this point, a cylinder was also stationary. It seemed to emit a cold, non-glowing light. No noise was heard during the observation, which lasted about 4 minutes. When the witnesses moved, the objects disappeared into the landscape. No other information was collected.
