Nogent-le-Rotrou March 10 1980

Summary

On March 10, 1980, after finishing their shift, gendarmes received a call about an unusual light seen on the road toward Authon. Finding nothing, they returned home, but one officer and his wife continued watching the sky. At 10:15 PM, they saw a light larger than a star with erratic movements. Reuniting with colleagues, they went to investigate. After losing sight of the object several times, they reached an intersection where they observed a rectangular shape with rounded corners and white lights illuminating the surroundings. One gendarme felt heat and fear, preventing him from sleeping. They returned home without finding an explanation.

This case, classified as "D" by the GEIPAN, includes common UFO traits like rapid erratic movements. No conventional explanation was found, but the gendarmes' collective testimony adds credibility, with detailed descriptions.
