On Sunday, March 20, 2011, between 9:45 PM and 10:00 PM, several people from the same family were watching the sky and were intrigued by the presence of two particularly bright stars that were moving. One of the witnesses then observed through binoculars two triangular shapes with blinking orange lights. The two objects moved at a constant speed across the sky and along a straight trajectory from north to east. No sound was heard during the observation. No other testimony was reported about this phenomenon. The gendarmerie investigation put forward the theory of an in-flight refueling operation of military aircraft that operated in the area described by the witness.
