Disc-shaped craft in Cahors turned out to be an ultralight used in film production

Summary

In November 2000, a witness in Cahors spotted a disc-shaped object fitted with three legs flying at low altitude in complete silence. A gendarme corroborated the sighting, though he did perceive an engine sound. The investigation revealed it was a prototype ultralight aircraft designed to film birds in flight, used during the production of the movie Le Peuple migrateur. Despite the confirmed explanation, the case stands out for the quality of the witness description and the independent corroboration.
