Stationary red light observed in Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine

Summary

In July 1976, two people in Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine noticed a circular, stationary red light roughly 2 kilometers away. While one witness went to fetch binoculars, the object moved westward and disappeared. The gendarmerie found a 50-meter dirt track in the area connecting to another path unknown to the witnesses, raising the possibility of a ground vehicle. However, the distance and lack of detail made it impossible to confirm that hypothesis or identify the phenomenon with any certainty.
