Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France · 1979-01-02 · from the GEIPAN archive
In the night of January 1 to 2, 1979, two witnesses observe for less than 10 seconds an object lit with red lights. This object, which they compare to a kite, moves rapidly from North to South without any noise and at an altitude of about 100 m above the built-up area. No other witness will be found for this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
