Cantal, France · 1977-10-18 · from the GEIPAN archive
On October 18, 1977 at 12:24 a.m., a witness observed for 4 minutes a luminous point in the sky that approached, made a wide curve while losing altitude, and seemed to stop above a hill. The witness says he then saw the dark mass of a craft with a circular porthole emitting a bright blue and orange light. After ten seconds, it disappeared instantly. Despite the gendarmerie investigation, no other testimony was collected.
