Hérault, France · 1975-01-19 · from the GEIPAN archive
The press reported an observation of the movement of an unknown object made by several people on January 19, 1975 at 6:45 p.m., and the gendarmerie searched for witnesses. Only two people agreed to testify, but only under cover of anonymity. The object gave the impression of spinning on itself and moving slowly away toward the horizon on a downward trajectory before climbing back up quickly and disappearing.
