AnomalyOn April 8, 1976, the gendarmerie was alerted by the press that on April 5, 1976, around 9 p.m., a person had observed a UFO near a sports field. At the exact spot of the observation, several traces of burned grass were noted, and the charred stump of a tree was found. During his statement, the witness said he had seen a light passing alternately from white to red after a jet of smoke. He specified the dimensions of an aluminum-colored object that overhung the stream. The witness heard a slight whistling sound. The observation lasted 5 minutes. The gendarmerie investigation determined that the traces were caused by firecrackers lit by several people. The witness admitted that he never saw any craft and that the journalists had indicated to him the dimensions of the object he thought he saw.
