Triangular UFO in Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux 2016

Summary

On August 15, 2016, just after midnight, a witness in Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux observed a luminous phenomenon in a clear sky. They saw three white lights forming a triangle with a red light at the center, moving at a very low altitude. The object emitted a loud humming sound and the witness observed it for about 10 seconds. They tried to take a photo with their phone, but it didn't capture the event. Only one testimony was collected. The witness speculated it could be a military aircraft or helicopter, as it didn't appear in civilian tracking systems. However, the description of three white lights with a red one in the center is common in aircraft sightings, as such lights can be present in addition to standard navigation lights. The GEIPAN classified the case as A, attributing it to an aircraft.
