A low hum in Loire-Atlantique, France
Recent testimony (05/08/2013) of an old observation on a Sunday in December 1988 (the exact day is not specified by the witness and we date the case to the first Sunday of the month).
One Sunday morning in December 1988 around 12:35 AM, a motorist and his passenger suddenly notice that an intense light is illuminating the whole landscape. The witness turns off his headlights and observes a dark mass from which the light comes and hears a faint humming. The light disappears gradually then quickly toward the west, the landscape plunging back into pitch-black night.
This observation case mentions an imprecise date, and the account is not very detailed. The witness was very moved by the observation, his wife as well, and the witness states that she does not want to talk about it. No other testimony will be collected. The observed phenomenon (strong illumination of the sky for a few minutes) could be a luminous phenomenon behind the clouds (e.g., atmospheric reentry of satellite debris) or a glare due to fatigue.
The lack of precision in the date makes any verification impossible. This case, moderately strange and very lacking in substance, is classified "C" due to lack of precise information.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
