An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Pas-de-Calais, France

In the night of July 17 to 18, 1990, numerous witnesses, including a patrol of gendarmes, observed up to 13 objects moving silently with blinking lights. One of the witnesses mentioned a kite shape. This is very likely a case of confusion with aircraft. This observation is to be linked with the departure on the same day of the aerial tour of France for young pilots.
