An account in Loire-Atlantique, France
Testimony in 2014 of an old observation.
On March 24, 2013 at 3 or 4 in the morning, a motorist observes in the black sky a small static amber-yellow light. He informs his two passengers when this light changes shape and moves rapidly in all directions while approaching the vehicle, which frightens the driver. The observation lasts 10 to 15 minutes before the light disappears. Only one testimony was collected.
The description conveys strangeness. This is the case for all testimonies sent to GEIPAN, strangeness (to varying degrees) being the very object of a testimony to GEIPAN.
