Vaucluse, France · 1979-04-17 · from the GEIPAN archive
Several evenings in April 1979, between 11 PM and midnight, two people observe in the sky three blinking white and red lights arranged in a triangle. On April 17, between 11 PM and 11:30 PM, while returning home along a country path, these people see one of these glows moving rapidly toward the ground: it seems to come from a flattened circular object about two meters in diameter. Despite their observation, which lasted several minutes, the witnesses cannot say whether the object, then 200 meters away, was resting on the ground or hovering above it, because it gave off a very intense light. Frightened, they return home with tingling in their eyes. No trace on the ground or in the environment will be found by the gendarmerie. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
