On December 8, 1979, two witnesses from their home saw at 9:52 a.m. an object shaped like a crescent, dark blue and white, with no shine. It measured 4 to 5 meters in height. No noise and no particular light were noticed. The object, at ground level, swayed near a small grove. The observation lasted one minute and thirty seconds from 200 meters away from the object. It disappeared by flying off quickly toward the north. The witnesses, then the gendarmes, found no trace on the ground.
