An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Somme, France

On the night of September 4–5, 1993, around midnight, four witnesses in their vehicle observed a bright orange point of light, larger than a star, moving like an airplane while approaching. The observation lasted 2 to 3 minutes, during which the object suddenly changed shape to become a highly elongated diamond or a cigar shape. No noise was perceived. No other information could be gathered.
