A triangle shape in Gironde, France

Recent testimony (23/08/2008) of an old observation: on 12 August 1994 at 11:45 p.m. a group of people moves away from a seaside village. The person at the front suddenly has his attention drawn to a stationary black mass above him. For 6 seconds he discovers an enormous triangular shape bordered on two sides by small lights irregular in intensity and alignment. Two children will also observe this triangle which, in total silence, then pivots on itself and moves away toward the S-E to disappear at the horizon. The witness noted all this in a sketchbook and attached to his testimony an illustration of his observation. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which any investigation today is impossible.
