A bright, round object, six meters in diameter, rested on three legs on railroad tracks.
Remi Carbonnier, 45, was awakened by a green light illuminating his room. He went to the window and saw a bright, round object, six meters in diameter, resting on three legs on the railroad tracks 300 meters away. It was emitting orange flashes. A dome on top of the object started spinning, the legs disappeared, and the object rose vertically above the trees, without noise. Less than 20 seconds later, it had cleared the hill and was lost to sight in the southwest. The next day the witness went to the site and found no trace, but his dog turned around and ran away. One green-orange ball was observed.
