AnomalyOn January 17, 1976, at around 6 p.m., a farmer observed the passage of a craft he did not recognize above the woods. It moved slowly from East to West with no sound heard. During the observation, which lasted one minute, the witness noted the switching on of a powerful spotlight that swept across the plain. The witness left to fetch his son, but when they returned the craft had disappeared. Despite the gendarmerie investigation, no other testimony or information was collected.
