Case description

The NICAP/HUMCAT digest records two women observing an unusual object from a second-floor bedroom window in France on February 5, 1976. It describes a dark disc topped by a transparent dome, with red and white lights on the object. Neither a municipality nor a secure time appears in this imported account. The women reportedly distinguished two humanlike figures inside the dome. Tight-fitting hoods covered their heads, but the summary supplies no dependable facial features, skin color or other anatomical detail. The object subsequently flew away over an orchard. No emergence, conversation, physical contact or boarding is described, and the figures should remain occupants seen through a dome rather than visitors shown walking outside. A GEIPAN file from Châteaurenard has a matching date and describes two observers seeing two silhouettes in a stationary object near a house before its departure. These similarities make it a plausible related record, but they do not establish that the two accounts are identical. The official record's locality, timing and measurements therefore are not substituted into this country-only entry. The plate follows the NICAP description and labels the Châteaurenard identification as provisional; exact portraits, building arrangement and hull dimensions are illustrative.
