An account in Gard, France

On October 10, 1974 at 5:55 pm, a middle school supervisor is alerted by the students to a particular phenomenon in the sky. Going outside the school building, the witness sees a silver-colored ball as well as two other small balls. These seem to be connected to the first one by a thread. The witness decides to alert her husband and loses sight of the whole thing. The next day she is told that the two small balls went back up into the larger one before departing at high speed.
