A triangle shape in Isère, France

On April 27, 1984, observations made by several witnesses took place above two municipalities in Isère: a very bright triangular object remained stationary and could be observed for between fifteen minutes and one hour thirty-five. Two witnesses saw the object rise and gradually disappear after the appearance of thick smoke. No other information was collected on this phenomenon.
