Nord, France · 1990-05-01 · from the GEIPAN archive
On May 1, 1990 at around 11 p.m., a young couple were driving in their vehicle. The man noticed the presence in the sky of a stationary red dot. He stopped to observe it for about ten minutes, during which the dot remained stationary. Then the dot moved very quickly sideways and stopped again. After about two minutes, the dot approached the witnesses, who then observed 3 white lights in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with the red dot in the center. The whole phenomenon flew over the car and left at high speed. No noise was heard during the entire observation. Despite articles published in the press, no other witness could be found, and the phenomenon could not be explained.
