Spinning silver object over power lines in Athis-Mons

Summary

A witness recalled seeing, around midnight on 24 August 1979, a silver object spinning silently above power lines in an urban area of Essonne. The testimony was provided decades later. A university psychologist who analysed the account found several inconsistencies and suggested the narrative might blend real events with imagined or externally influenced elements. Adolescent memory is particularly prone to generating false memories. Due to the lack of reliable information and the passage of time, GEIPAN classified the case as "C", with no scientific value.
