Case description

On 1 December 1976, several witnesses saw a stationary light above the horizon for 15 minutes before it vanished. No particular sound was heard. Gendarmes arrived promptly but saw nothing and found no unusual ground traces that evening. Their investigation established that a light appeared in the same direction on several successive evenings and disappeared below the horizon. GEIPAN identifies the witnesses’ observations as Venus.
