Moselle, France · 1976-10-07 · from the GEIPAN archive
On October 7, 1976, several adolescents observe for a few seconds, around 7 p.m., the rapid passage of an object above the houses in the neighborhood. The object is described as having the shape of a red cigar and passing silently along a SE-NW trajectory. No adult will witness this phenomenon, which will be reported in the local press at the insistence of one of the parents. These children probably made an observation of the passage of an aircraft, with air traffic being heavy in this sector located near Metz airport.
