An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Dordogne, France

On August 27, 1997 at around 11:00 PM, a witness observed six glowing balls turning in the sky. After a while, five of the spheres disappeared, leaving in their place one large milky sphere (3 times the size of the setting sun) which he observed for about half an hour. The witness called his mother, who observed only the large white sphere. Although the investigation did not demonstrate this, the described observation is reminiscent of the effects produced on clouds by advertising laser projectors.
