Silent triangle over the Seine-et-Marne motorway witnessed by gendarmes

Summary

During a night patrol on 24 June 1994, three French gendarmes noticed bright lights above the motorway in Seine-et-Marne. On approach, they found the lights came from a static triangular object hovering in the air. It slowly drew closer to their vehicle, stopped directly above it, and then sped away until it became a dot in the sky. No sound or smoke was detected during the roughly ten-minute incident. The vehicle's communication equipment ceased functioning while the object was nearby. The case remains unexplained, made particularly notable by the witnesses' professional standing and the reported electromagnetic interference.
