Three bright saucer-shaped objects over Machilly

Summary

On September 1, 1977, at 8:15 PM, a vacationer in Machilly (Haute-Savoie) reported three slightly flattened saucer-shaped objects shining brightly and emitting luminous rays. No other witnesses were found. The area is regularly overflown by aircraft from two nearby airfields, leading investigators to conclude the witness likely mistook a conventional aircraft for something unusual, though the possibility of a genuinely anomalous sighting was not entirely ruled out.
