Summary

On the night of January 6, 1979, a farmer in Finistère witnessed an unusual aerial phenomenon. While walking with his dog, the animal suddenly became frightened and hid under a tree. The man then observed a bright object 15 meters above the ground, with a circular shape and a dome emitting blinding light and a faint humming sound. The object remained stationary for two minutes before swaying and disappearing rapidly to the west. Although there were no other witnesses or ground traces, the account is detailed and consistent.

The case was classified as category B, suggesting a plausible but unconfirmed explanation. According to the testimony, the sound and movement resemble those of a helicopter. However, the object's description and behavior do not clearly match those of a conventional aircraft. This case remains intriguing due to the clarity of the account and the lack of conventional elements to explain it definitively.
