An account in Sarthe, France

On May 17, 1993 at around 12:15 p.m., a witness in his garden observed in the distance a shiny white disk whose speed could be estimated at 3 or 4 times that of a passenger plane. No noise was heard; the witness followed the phenomenon with binoculars for about 2 minutes. No other information could be gathered about this observation.
