What happened

At 10:45 p.m., a witness who was driving saw a large, very intense white light hanging motionless for about a minute. When the light went out, the witness heard a whistling sound, and a black shape seemed to move away at very high speed.

The next day, the witness felt muscle pain. They later returned to the site and were struck by severe headaches at the exact spot of the sighting.

The investigation established that there was no air traffic in the area. GEIPAN classified the case as D: the phenomenon remains unexplained.
