Case description

On an unspecified date in October 1981, between 23:00 and 01:00, a person in Angoulême used the remaining frames of a roll of film to photograph city lights from his parents’ apartment. After a private laboratory developed the slides, he noticed an unusual luminous point in one. He had a 13 × 18 enlargement printed on paper and saw what seemed to be an object foreign to the scene, resembling a flying saucer. He then gave a statement to the gendarmerie and left a sketch of the photograph. No further information was obtained.
