An account in Essonne, France

On December 8, 1983 at 11:27 PM, a witness heard a whistling sound of the same type as that made by a glider in flight. He then saw for 5 to 6 seconds an object of spherical shape, blue-white in color and very bright, moving horizontally. This object was followed by a long trail of flames, orange in color. It disappeared into the landscape. No other information was collected about this phenomenon.
