Red lights in Hérault, France

Between 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM on March 26, 1979, motorists saw in the sky an object lit by three lights. One of the lights was white in color and the other two were blinking green and red lights. This object moved quickly while changing direction. One of the witnesses stated that he had made this observation several times between February and March. These people probably made an observation of an aircraft of the helicopter type.
