An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Oise, France

On July 14, 1979, between 9:50 PM and 9:55 PM, two witnesses saw in the sky at an altitude of 100 to 150 meters a rounded object shaped like a cauldron and colored stainless steel or aluminum. Its horizontal trajectory was NE-SW, and it moved while oscillating regularly and without noise. Reflections appeared during its movement. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. Based on the description and the date of July 14, many unusual objects move at low altitude: these witnesses probably saw the passage of a stag beetle.
