On May 5, 1978, between 10:45 p.m. and 11:15 p.m., three people observed the passage of a craft about 50 meters above them. No noise was heard even though the craft was large in size. Lights of different colors were noticed on the craft. At the time indicated by the witnesses, the gendarmerie investigation established that there were silent passages of aircraft waiting for clearance to land at Charles de Gaulle airport. These people were probably witnesses to similar passages of aircraft.
