On March 24, 1976, the manager of a restaurant notified the gendarmerie that two shiny-colored spheres, approximately one meter in diameter, had just been discovered on Feuillère beach (Marie-Galante island, Guadeloupe). The gendarmerie indeed observed two spheres buried in the sand at the limit of the breaking waves and partially covered by seawater. They were 14 meters apart from each other. A light metallic coating (about 5 tenths of a millimeter) covered both spheres: on one of them, the coating seemed to have melted, revealing a harder and more resistant metal that could not be scratched with the point of a knife. The next day at 6:30 a.m., the objects were uncovered by the gendarmerie, and it appeared that they were two hemispheres belonging to the same device and fitting perfectly into one another. An inscription, H 476 AC, was readable on one of the hemispheres. These devices were to be brought back to the station for cleaning and possible identification. But at 10 a.m. the same day, the mayor of Capesterre de Marie-Galante, despite the gendarmerie's prohibition, had these hemispheres removed to display them on the town hall square. This case is not a UFO observation. It concerns the recovery of two metallic hemispheres on a beach. The origin of these hemispheres could perhaps be traced using the marking found inside one of them.
