A triangle shape in Ille-et-Vilaine, France

On December 22, 2001 at around 2:30 a.m., a witness in a car observed a large triangular shape flying slowly and silently. After stopping his vehicle, the witness got out and noted that the phenomenon was stationary for about ten seconds above him before leaving again. Under the object there were very bright and very mobile lights; the "front" of the object seemed to be made of plexiglass. The investigation would show that the witness's personality makes this testimony hardly credible.
