🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
In March 1976, two bright spheres were discovered buried on a beach in Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe. A restaurant manager alerted the French gendarmerie to these unusual objects, each about one meter in diameter. Investigators confirmed that the spheres were partially submerged and separated by 14 meters. Both had a thin metallic coating, with one showing signs of melting to reveal a harder, knife-resistant metal. An inscription "H 476 AC" was visible on one half. The next day, the objects were retrieved and identified as two halves of the same device. However, before analysis could begin, the mayor removed them for public display, ignoring gendarmerie advice. This case does not involve a UFO sighting but the recovery of metallic spheres with an unknown origin.
