Red lights in Creuse, France

On December 23, 1976, at around 2:20 a.m., a soldier on guard duty had his attention drawn by the low-altitude passage of an object of round shape, lit by several lamps emitting a bright red light. Another red lamp rotated at its top like a beacon. The craft moved slowly and emitted a continuous whistle of medium intensity. It disappeared, hidden by another building. The observation lasted 30 seconds. No other direct witness to the observation came forward. This soldier probably observed the passage of an aircraft of the helicopter type.
