An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France

On February 3, 1976, at around 7:30 PM, several witnesses observed a white-silver colored glow in the sky. After rising above the hill, the glow gradually disappeared on the hidden slope. This phenomenon was preceded by a noise similar to that made by a supersonic aircraft. The gendarmerie ruled out the hypothesis of a fire or the fall of an object, as no trace on the ground was noticed in the indicated area. The case is classified as C due to lack of information.
