An orange orb in Haute-Marne, France
Following several observations of luminous phenomena made at night on July 15 and 16, 1983, a witness decides to go on July 17 at around 9:30 PM to observe with binoculars what is happening on a hill. Several hours later, his relatives find him at home dazed, bearing injuries on his body and severely traumatized. He claims to have been snatched by a yellow-orange fireball and then to have fallen back down a few kilometers away. His incoherent speech and his injuries lead his family to hospitalize him. The investigation will show that these luminous phenomena could really have taken place: indeed, on this hill runs a high-voltage power line belonging to EDF where electrical arcs could have occurred. The witness could indeed have been the victim of an electric shock due to the presence of the high-voltage line (60 KV) and the very stormy weather, but the explanation of the "abduction" seems hardly credible.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
