An account in Loire-Atlantique, France

On October 31, 1980, while returning from work, a motorist saw three bright points at low altitude in the sky. The approximate direction of his observation was N/E (to the left of the vehicle relative to his route). He had the impression that these points followed him when he moved or stopped at the same time as he did. No noise was heard. At his home, his wife made the same observation until 7:30 a.m., the time she left for work. During the investigation, other witnesses of this same phenomenon came forward. Examination of the sky that night shows a conjunction of Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn particularly visible in the sky toward the East and very low on the horizon until dawn. The witnesses probably observed this phenomenon.
