Red lights in Gironde, France

On February 21, 1984, at around 7:15 a.m., a witness in a car spots three red luminous points in the sky. Getting out of his car and for one minute, he observes a triangle formed by three red lights: a green light shines at the center of this triangle. The stationary phenomenon is located at about 200 meters altitude. It will disappear by moving away slowly. No other information will be collected on this phenomenon.
