Pilot witness in Haute-Vienne, France

On November 25, 1978, between 3:30 p.m. and 3:45 p.m., a witness at his workplace is intrigued by a stationary object in the cloudy sky. This rectangular-shaped object emits a very bright light. This witness and a colleague will observe the object moving at very high speed and in opposite directions on two occasions. The control tower of Limoges-Bellegarde airport will confirm the flights of two aircraft in the region between 3:20 p.m. and 4:14 p.m. The available information on these distant observations does not allow analysis of the observed object.
