Recent testimony (20/10/2012) of an old observation. A witness reports having observed on 24 August 1979 around midnight, a silver-colored craft stationary but turning on itself silently above electrical cables in an urban area. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. The detailed analysis of the testimony by a university psychologist reveals several inconsistencies and does not allow considering that the reported facts were fully lived, but that it is more likely a mixture of real facts and imagined elements or elements from other accounts. Memory may have confused these elements after more than 30 years. It should also be known that adolescence is also an age conducive to the creation of "false memories". An investigation 30 years later would not bring back reliable information. This case is classified "C" due to lack of reliable information, cross-checks, or otherwise.
