Benquet (40) 16.10.1977

Summary

Around 3:30 AM on October 16, 1977, a driver and his passenger observed a circular object moving from west to east at high altitude and great speed. The object followed a curved trajectory and disappeared behind vegetation. No signs of interference were noted in the vehicle, and no other witnesses reported the phenomenon. Classified as C by the GEIPAN, this case provided no further details, but both observers agreed on the description. The object's speed and altitude suggest it was not a conventional item.
