Seine-et-Marne, France · 1994-06-24 · from the GEIPAN archive
On June 24, 1994 at around 2:40 a.m., during a night patrol, the attention of three gendarmes was drawn to lights above the highway. As they approached, they observed that these lights came from a triangular object stationary at an unspecified distance from the ground. Having stopped their vehicle, the object approached slowly to hover above the gendarmes' car. When they started driving again, the object left at a dizzying speed, becoming just a point in the sky. Without being able to specify the exact moment, the gendarmes also noted the shutdown of their communication equipment on board the vehicle. The duration of the observation was about 10 minutes; no noise or smoke was observed. No explanation could be provided for this phenomenon.
