Red lights in Seine-Maritime, France
On August 6, 1980, around 11 p.m., three people saw a particular luminous phenomenon in the sky. For two to five minutes they observed two groups of 3 red lights, one of which was blinking. These two groups followed each other closely. An engine noise accompanied the whole thing, which moved at low altitude and at reduced speed. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. The investigation would show that at the time of the observation, many planes use this air corridor. However, this phenomenon remains unexplained due to lack of information.
