Pilot witness in Cher, France
On October 26, 1980 at around 10:35 a.m., a witness, an amateur pilot, spots from his property several bright flashes in the sky that make him think of the beacon light of an aircraft. He then sees a very bright flame followed by black smoke. No noise is heard. Thinking it is a plane crash, he alerts the nearest control tower. During the gendarmerie investigation, no aircraft in distress was reported in the area, and no rocket launch was found in the vicinity. No other testimony was collected regarding this report, for which we lack information.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
