Alpes-Maritimes, France · 1993-10--- · from the GEIPAN archive
A person reports on April 24, 2008, an observation made in summer between 1993 and 1997 (the witness does not remember the exact date, and the date given is arbitrary). The witness, with 5 other people, observed between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. a particular luminous phenomenon in a clear sky. Points forming two isosceles triangles seemed to rotate around the central axis of each triangle. Suddenly these points stopped their movement and the triangles took opposite directions: the first, heading toward Mont Gros, disappeared hidden by the landscape, the second first stopped still above the sea before resuming its rotation and disappearing suddenly. It is very difficult, even impossible, to investigate a late testimony like this one (testimony on 04/24/2008). We frequently have observations of flying triangles, some are still unexplained, but many others are also confusions with airplanes seen from a particular angle. For this case, we have too few details to verify the airplane hypothesis today.
