On January 1, 1981, two police officers in Vaucresson observed a luminous phenomenon that intrigued them. At an altitude of between 100 and 150 meters, a yellow-orange light flickered in the sky. As they followed the light's path, they noticed a circular object spinning on itself. It moved at a constant, slow, and silent pace, as if beginning to descend. The object emitted blinking lights and left a short trail behind it. The observation lasted about a minute, until the object disappeared behind the landscape. No further information was gathered about this phenomenon, which remains unexplained.
The witnesses, public officials with a clear view of the sky, reported no unusual sounds or environmental reactions. The description of the object and its behavior suggest a non-conventional nature. Despite the brief observation, the details are consistent and there are no indications of hallucination or error. This case, classified as "D" by the GEIPAN, remains in the database as an isolated phenomenon with no identifiable cause.
