UFO sighted in Machilly in 1977

Summary

In September 1977, a witness on vacation in Machilly (France) reported seeing three unidentified flying objects. The incident occurred on September 1 at 8:15 PM and the objects had a slightly flattened saucer shape, with a bright appearance and emitting light rays. Although no other witnesses were found, the area is regularly crossed by planes from two nearby airfields. The report concludes that the witness likely mistook an aircraft for a UFO, although an unusual observation cannot be ruled out.
