Red lights in Indre, France

On August 17, 1993 at around 11 p.m., two witnesses observed two white lights and flashing red lights moving slowly with no audible sound. The investigation quickly showed that that evening a military DC 8 aircraft coming from England was looking for the landing strip and made wide loops in the area concerned. The headlights observed and the lights match the aircraft's signaling.

What stood out: red lights
