An account in Val-d'Oise, France

In the night of July 27 to 28, 1979, around midnight, a person is woken up by a particular brightness in their bedroom. The witness then observes through the window a white luminous ball. It moves very slowly in a northwest to northeast direction with no sound at all. This ball is bigger than the moon. It disappears, hidden by the buildings. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
