Haute-Vienne, France · 1953-04-11 · from the GEIPAN archive
On April 11, 1953 at 9:10 PM, three witnesses at an Air Force warehouse observed the silent east-west movement of a large orange-red point. The captain described a phenomenon that made a round trip over 45 degrees of the sky in 6 minutes along an irregular broken line forming angles of 15 degrees relative to the axis of movement. The 180-degree turn was also made through successive heading changes. The heading changes occurred every second. The other two witnesses followed the phenomenon for two to three minutes.
