In the night of September 9 to 10, 1980, at around 12:45 a.m., a witness standing on his doorstep observes a luminous phenomenon. 100 meters away on the path leading to his home, a glow illuminates the road sign. No car is seen and no noise is heard, and the witness then sees an object of elongated shape advancing in jerky movements at 1.50 meters from the ground. This object gradually rises and disappears into the landscape. No particular odor was noticed. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
