An account in Dordogne, France

Alerted by newspaper articles in the local press, the gendarmerie investigates a particular phenomenon observed by several people. On April 24, 1976, around 4 p.m., a couple in the countryside notices the unusual noise of a strong displacement of air, followed by the appearance, 300 meters from them, of two luminous green discs. These objects suddenly dive toward the ground very quickly before disappearing. A violent gust of wind occurs, followed by a snowfall. The same phenomenon occurs two more times. In the surrounding area, other people observe, at the same time, disturbances on their television sets. Information from the local brigade suggests that this is probably an electromagnetic phenomenon caused by a local meteorological event.
