Hovering in Ardèche, France
On October 18 at around 10:00 p.m., a couple in a car observed one, then two, blinking lights that were stationary and at low altitude. The lights were orange with a white light and were rotating counterclockwise. A dark shape was located beneath the lights. After about ten minutes, these lights eventually left, moving very slowly. Although the observation was silent, it is very likely that the witnesses saw the lights of two helicopters hovering, which then moved away.
