Large silver sphere with satellites over Saint-Gilles

Summary

On October 13, 1974, students at a school in Saint-Gilles alerted their teacher to something unusual in the sky. Stepping outside, she saw a large silver sphere connected by threads to two smaller ones. She lost sight of the group when she went to call her husband. The next day she was told the smaller spheres had returned to the main one before everything vanished at high speed. No further data were obtained.

The description suggests an unusual structure with connected elements that could indicate a controlled system. Despite the brevity of the sighting, the coherence of the account and the details about color and movement are noteworthy. Classified C by GEIPAN, the case remains unexplained.
