An account in Ariège, France

On April 2, 1977, between 7:15 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., several people in a vehicle noticed a luminous cloud in the sky that intrigued them. The witnesses then saw a glow of elongated shape that slowly detached from the cloud in a straight-line trajectory. No particular noise was heard by the witnesses, who had stopped on the roadside. The glow disappeared into a cloud mass. No other testimony was collected about this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
