Figuet and Ruchon [fru1] indicate as sources the ufology magazine Lumières Dans La Nuit #93, and #94 bis. But I did not find anything on this case there.
The case is of unknown sources, of low strangeness, poorly documented and probably never invesitgated, a misintepretation is obviously possible.
(These keywords are only to help queries and are not implying anything.)
