Taize Parent-and-Satellite Object Multi-Witness Encounter

1972-08-12Taize area, Saone-et-Loire, France

About thirty witnesses reportedly observed a large low/landed luminous object for more than two hours with sweeping beams and three smaller white disc-like objects. Flashlight signaling was followed by changes in object lights and a beam directed toward the observers, which they associated with heat.
