Bowl-shaped object over Saint-Martin-de-Crau

Summary

In August 1980, two witnesses in Saint-Martin-de-Crau saw a sky object they described as a polished-aluminum 'salad bowl.' Its upper half oscillated while the lower half stayed fixed. Silent and leaving no trail, it drifted slowly northward across a main road. It never landed, and the Gendarmerie found no physical evidence. Investigators considered a Mylar balloon but could not confirm this hypothesis due to lack of data. Classified as C.
