Red lights in Val-de-Marne, France

On October 20, 1986, at around 8 p.m., a witness walking in the street observed a flying object of rectangular shape. The front of the object was rounded with a white light, and the rear ended in a triangle. Under the metallic craft, gray in color, the witness saw a red light and two green lights. The movement was slow, silent, and at an altitude of about 200 meters. No other information was collected.
