Boom in Deux-Sèvres, France

On February 26, 1978, at around 2:30 in the morning, several people observed a shiny silver shape in the sky. The witnesses speak of a luminous explosion. This phenomenon disappeared instantly. No noise was heard. That night, gendarmerie patrols observed flashes coming from distant storms. These witnesses probably observed a luminous phenomenon coming from that stormy weather system.
