Red lights in Eure, France
On August 6, 1977, at 1:30 in the morning, two people observe, outside their home, a luminous phenomenon that intrigues them. A glow of strong intensity, yellow-orange in color, moves slowly, stops, and the witnesses briefly see two small red lights before the glow continues on its path. During the three minutes of observation, no noise is heard. On August 13, 1977, at the same time, one of the witnesses will observe, still from his home, an ovoid object sitting in a field on the other side of the river that borders his property. The luminous object is stationary on the ground, and no noise is heard during the roughly ten minutes of observation. No particular trace or change will be noticed by the owner of the field at the supposed location where the object sat. The gendarmerie will note three shallow holes without being able to determine with certainty the origin of these misshapen holes. Soil samples will be taken. The search for radioactivity will be negative, as will the checks requested from the meteorological services, the engineering corps, and the nearby radar station. No other testimony will be collected about this phenomenon.
