LURE (70) 1989

Observed
30/05/1989
AreaFranche-Comté
DepartmentSaône (Haute)
ClassD
Summary
Observation of an object moving without noise at very high speed with abrupt changes of direction
Detailed descriptionOn May 30, 1989 around 23:15, three forest rangers doing a round of monitoring observe 3 projector-like objects emitting flashes of light with quick intervals. After becoming immobile for 20 seconds, these three lights leave verticaly at very high speed making zigzags. After a few seconds, the phenomenon returns right above the witnesses and become immobile exactly where it left the first time. A red light ignites in the middle of the three lights before setting out again again by changing several times of direction. A Jaguar fighter Jet passed shortly after but could not be confused with the phenomenon observed which remained quiet. The investigations carried out near the air base did not make it possible to confirm the testimony of the 3 witnesses. The phenomenon observed could not be identified.
