An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Aube, France

On July 20, 1985, a witness said she saw with other people a particular luminous phenomenon above a group of trees. Around 10:45 p.m., in a clear and starry sky, a shape resembling an upside-down plate topped with a dome emitted a light of white and yellow color. This stationary object gradually disappeared a first time, then reappeared again. No noise was heard during the observation, which lasted 40 minutes. The witness first alerted a radio station the next day, which relayed it to the local press. The gendarmes' investigation could not confirm the young girl's claims on several points: one of the cited witnesses was not present, the other did not confirm. Moreover, the meteorological situation at the time does not match what the witness described. It seems clear that this testimony is not very credible and stems from a teenager's fabrication.
