A triangle shape in Tarn, France

On June 20, 2011, at 11:00 PM, in a field, two people observe above them the silent passage of a yellow-orange glowing ball. After making a turn above the treetops, a triangular shape appears to them. Very frightened, they leave the place, but one of the witnesses filmed the observation. The witnesses probably observed the passage of an aircraft, because given the video, the object matches the appearance of an airplane, with its standard nighttime lighting, landing lights on. No investigation was conducted to identify which airplane was flying over the site.
