Buzzing in Ain, France
In the night of March 11, 1979, around 12:45 AM, several people witnessed a particular luminous phenomenon. They were dazzled by a very bright light of blue-green-mauve color that illuminated the surrounding landscape for about one minute. A power outage affected the entire municipality.
A motorist states that he and his wife saw a slightly oval, motionless mass 15 to 20 meters from the ground. It suddenly went out, revealing a red-orange colored fire on each side of the mass.
A fish farmer, woken in the night of March 11 by a crackling noise and an intense light, noted on Tuesday March 13 the death of many fish in one of his breeding ponds (1800 kg in total). A 10,000-volt electrical line passes over the pond, and in the night of March 14 to 15, one of these wires gave way: it was deteriorated over 4 to 5 meters in length.
The EDF manager for the area could not record the incident on the control strip, as the power outage in the municipality had been too brief (1 min).
These people witnessed an electrical arc on the EDF line, which probably contributed to the death of the fish, although analyses revealed a viral infection. We have no information on the precise nature of this infection or on its possible effects on the fish mortality.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
