The article below was published in the daily newspaper Le Midi Libre, France, on July 26, 1978.
Monday evening at 9:18 p.m., exactly, four people being in a campsite of La Grande-Motte observed the passage of nine UFOs in formation above them. These four people usually residing in Lorraine, Mr. Michel Grimm and Christian Bartz, Mrs. Francine Damm and Marie-Thérèse Keppel were celebrating Saint Christian's Day when one of them noticed in the sky the passage of two satellites, from East to West which took several minutes to disappear on the horizon. Suddenly, their attention was attracted by nine brilliant dots in "diamond" formation, that is to say in a triangle by three, crossing the sky, from South-East to North-West. Five or six seconds later they were gone.
