On February 27, 1990, a young couple driving in a car observed an object shaped like a rugby ball with three powerful white spotlights. This object, about 2.5 to 3 meters in diameter, flew gently at very low altitude and silently. After following this object for about ten minutes, it disappeared at very high speed. The investigation did not make it possible to identify this object as a known aircraft or as any other phenomenon.
