This is the question that a couple from Pléneuf-Val-André is asking themselves about the strange display they witnessed last Sunday night, above the small fishing port of Dahouët.
Around 11:30 p.m., the two witnesses, husband and wife, who live in a house located on the quay of the port, heard a small explosion. They rushed to their windows and saw, above the tip of Haut Dahouët, which overlooks the port, a shape lit up by an orange light at its top and base. The central part of this object suspended in the sky was not lit and formed a dark mass", explained the witnesses, who were able to observe this object for about half an hour, before it disappeared.
At the same time, a resident of a house located near the hiking trails that go towards the Pointe du Beclou, remembers having seen a large orange glow, but without having seen the object in the sky.
Local residents of Haut Dahouët, speak of traces of fires, on tree stumps uprooted by the storm of October 87 and in the stubble. However, it is almost certain that these small fires have nothing to do with the phenomenon and are more likely due to poachers tracking the rabbits that abound in the area.
In any case, this is the opinion of the police officers who are conducting the investigation with the greatest discretion the investigation into the case since the beginning of the week.
In any case, the investigators considered the testimonies serious enough to notify the National Center for Space Studies in Toulouse, which records and analyzes all these phenomena.
