Drôme, France · 1979-01-25 · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness makes two separate observations on two different dates: Around January 25, 1979, at about 10 p.m., this witness, accompanied by another person, notices that their vehicle is lit up by a beam above their car. Taking the time to stop, they see an object of triangular shape that emits lights of different colors but predominantly orange-red. These are accompanied by two spotlights turned on and aimed at the ground. The object moves slowly while making a whistling sound. Although located very close to the witness (5 meters), they cannot estimate the size of the object, which then disappears behind a hill. The second observation took place around February 10, 1979: at about 8 p.m., from their apartment, the witness says they heard a humming sound coming from outside. They then observe an object made up of two parts, emitting white and red lights, moving in a north-south direction. Upon reaching above the built-up area, the object is joined by a series of shiny objects in motion, also emitting lights, for half an hour. Despite the significant duration during which this luminous phenomenon occurred, no other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
