🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
Two people in Fort-de-France, Martinique, observed in 1970 a white luminous phenomenon that initially appeared to follow an airplane coming from Guadeloupe. The ball of light, moving at high speed, overtook the plane along a straight trajectory and disappeared toward the west. The testimony, reported years later, describes a brief observation lasting between 3 and 5 seconds, with no notable noise. The witness estimated the event occurred between late 1969 and before July 1970, so it is dated January 1, 1970. No other similar testimonies were found in the area or during that period, making it difficult to provide a clear explanation for the phenomenon.
