ARGENTAN (61) 03.08.1992

On 3 August 1992 around 01:00, a driver near Argentan reported seeing a white, lens-shaped halo of mist above an embankment bordering a field. It was 10 m from the vehicle and 3 m high. As the mist faded, he saw a dark grey oval object with a transparent upper section. Through it he described a human-shaped figure in a piloting position, wearing a silver suit and helmet. The object made no sound. He woke his wife, who was on the back seat, and she saw the same thing. Violet rays of light suddenly appeared in front of and above the vehicle, frightening them. The driver accelerated. His wife was the last to see an object, by then described as cylindrical, disappear at very high speed. No further information was obtained, and GEIPAN states that information about the phenomenon is insufficient.
