UFO in France with Burned Grass Traces

Summary

In April 1976, near a sports field in Pont-Sainte-Maxence, a witness reported seeing a bright object emitting light that shifted from white to red. According to the testimony, the object, described as aluminum-colored, was hovering over a stream and produced a faint whistle. The witness also noted burned grass and a charred tree stump at the site. However, the investigation concluded that these marks were the result of fireworks set off by several people. In the end, the witness admitted he had never seen an aerial object and that the dimensions of the alleged UFO were suggested to him by journalists.
