Another UFO in the sky of the Southwest!
This time, it was late Tuesday afternoon, in the sky of Estirac (Hautes-Pyrénées). Three cars were following each other on the road that connects Maubourguet to Plaisance-du-Gers. It was around 6:45 p.m. On board the first vehicle, Mr. Marcel Lavedan, trader in Plaisance and his two sons, Jean-Marie and René. The first says:
"We saw three luminous dots, green, orange and red, motionless, absolutely silent. They were about 70 meters from the ground. I stopped my vehicle, the driver who was following me did it too, while the third sped by quickly. The object immediately made a U-turn on the spot; still without noise. In the blink of an eye, we only distinguished an orange light which immediately moved away, without leaving any trace, towards the south, towards Tarbes."
