Buzzing in Alpes-Maritimes, France

On April 30, 1977, between 11:00 PM and 11:25 PM, witnesses saw a glow and heard a crackling or whistling sound. The gendarmerie was notified of these facts late and could find no trace or clue at the scene. The testimonies differ on many points, and the facts could not be determined with precision.
