The gendarmes of Vaucluse have recorded the testimony of a couple and their child who claim to have seen, on the night of July 5, eight unidentified flying objects (UFOs) moving back and forth between two towns in the Luberon.
The couple and their son explained that, while they were at La Motte D’Aigues around 10:30 PM on a cloudless night, they saw eight very bright, round, and perfectly clear white lights above the town of Pertuis, at an altitude of approximately 2,000 meters.
These lights then arranged themselves into two triangular formations and moved towards Cadenet, a few kilometers to the northwest, before gradually fading out.
They then reappeared and returned in the direction of Perthuis, where they once again dimmed before resuming their movements and ultimately disappearing above Cucuron.
Note: The lights were very likely, as the account suggests, and as in many similar cases in the area, those of the Alpha Jets from the Patrouille de France during night maneuvers.
