Bouches-du-Rhône, France · 1977-09-23 · from the GEIPAN archive
On September 23, 1977, around midnight, a person walking their dog spotted for one minute in the sky two craft of circular shape. The underside was luminous white and the top darker. The craft were heading in a northwest-southeast direction with no noise. They began a turn before gaining altitude at high speed and disappearing. No unexpected echo was picked up during the night at the control tower of the Istres air base. No other testimony was collected.
