Perhaps the most infamous recent UFO sighting in France was made by at least 1,000 concerned citizens on November 5, 1990. Very strange flashing lights raced across the night sky.

Could they have been bombs? Because of this very mundane possibility, French officials rushed to the site to investigate.

Fortunately, France was not bombed or invaded by aliens. The official explanation for this apparent event was that the flashing lights were rocket fragments burning up in the atmosphere.

In contrast, the nearly 1,000 witnesses who said they saw flashing lights in the sky on November 5, 1990, simply saw a rocket fragment fall back into the Earth's atmosphere.

"We don't have the slightest evidence that aliens are behind the unexplained phenomena," says Putnet, adding: "We also don't have the slightest proof that this is not the case."

More from France-1990

On the evening of November 5, 1990, Philippe and his girlfriend Sandrine were returning from the Musso private clinic in Evry (Essonne), where they had gone to visit Josianne, Philippe's wife, who had just given birth to a fraternal baby. the twin boys, Aurelien and Adrian.

One child was fair-haired, and the other brown-haired! They were born healthy on November 5, 1990. I've seen their ID cards. They came to the world between 12: 15 and 12: 30, just after midnight.

Sandrine, who was driving, and Philip, who was sitting to her right. They drove towards Mennessy, where they both live, and drove along the D-153, parallel to the A6 motorway.

Arriving at the village on Lisses Hill around 19: 00-19: 15, they saw a strange "object" coming from their right. It was Philip who managed to observe this mysterious object quite well thanks to his position in the car. Philippe told me that he seemed to be "piloted" or "well controlled."

The object was coming from the right, moving at a low speed (comparable to the speed of a bicycle), and it was moving consistently, without acceleration or stopping. It made no noise or heat, but rather "light smoke" (like steam or water vapor?) that came from some white lights.

The UFO was "a huge, compact, rectangular mass with a surface as shiny as aluminum."

The length is estimated at about 200 m, and the height is about 100 m. There were many white lights in this mass, some of them emitting large white rays. Inside this rectangle, the lights seemed to be connected by a structure. The entire object stood out in the night sky, so it was clearly visible.

The UFO was seen through the front windshield by Philip, who was sitting as a passenger on the right side of the car. The car was then stopped and the car was watched through the lowered side window.

The distance from the witnesses to the UFO was "difficult [to estimate], perhaps 500 to 1000 meters." 

And, according to Philip:

"All I can say is that I will never be able to forget it on November 5, because that was the day my wife gave birth to twins."

Original news

Perhaps France’s most infamous recent UFO sighting was made by at least 1000 of concerned citizens on November 5, 1990. Very strange flashing lights were careening through the night sky.

Could they be bombs? Because of this very earthly possibility, French officials hustled to the sight to investigate.

Fortunately, France was not being bombed nor was it being invaded by extraterrestrials. The official explanation for this highly-witnessed event was that the flashing lights were rocket fragments burning up in the atmosphere.

The nearly 1000 witnesses who said they saw flashing lights in the sky on 5 November 1990, by contrast, had simply seen a rocket fragment falling back into Earth’s atmosphere.

“We do not have the least proof that extraterrestrials are behind the unexplained phenomena,” says Patenet, adding: “Nor do we have the least proof that they aren’t.”

More from France – 1990

On the evening of November 5, 1990, Philippe and his friend, Sandrine, were returning from the private clinic of “Mousseaux” in Evry (Essone), where they had gone to visit Josianne, Philippe’s wife, who had just that day delivered fraternal twin boys, Aurelien and Adrien.

One child was fair-haired and the other was brown-haired! They were born in good health on November 5, 1990. I saw their identity cards. They came into the world between 12:15 and 12:30 AM, just after midnight.

Sandrine who drove the car, Philippe being a passenger seated on her right. They drove toward Mennecy, where they both live, and were travelling on D-153, parallel to the A6 motorway.

Arriving at the hill village of Lisses about 7:00 – 7:15 PM, they saw a strange “object” coming from their right. It was Philippe who was able to observe this mysterious object quite well, thanks to his position in the car. Philippe told me that it seemed “to be piloted” or “under good control.”

The object came from the right, moving at a slow speed (comparable to that of a bicycle), and it moved consistently, without accelerations or stops. It did not emit any noise or heat, but rather “a light smoke” (like steam or water vapor?) which issued from some white lights.

The UFO appeared to be a “huge, compact, rectangular mass, with a surface shiny, like aluminum.”

The length is estimated at about 200 m and the height about 100 m. In this mass there were many white lights, with some of them projecting large white beams. Within this rectangle, the lights seemed to be connected by a structure. The whole object stood out from the night sky, being therefore clearly visible.

The UFO was seen through the front windshield by Philippe, seated as a passenger on the right side of the car. Then the car was stopped and the machine was observed through the lowered side window.

The distance of the witnesses to the UFO was “difficult [to estimate], perhaps between 500 and 1000 meters.” And, per Philippe: “All I can say is that I will never be able to forget this November 5th, because my wife brought twins into the world that day.”
