Mirage IV tailed by bright light, Dijon

1997 ยท Dijon area, France

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Flying a Mirage IV bomber in the Dijon area, Giraud and his navigator saw a very bright light approaching that then tailed them at about 1500 m. The light made a sharp turn and left at supersonic speed without any sonic boom being heard. Minutes later it reappeared and repeated the same manoeuvre. Hind reproduces the report from the MUFON UAP Journal as part of her survey of pilot sightings, offering it as one of the spectacular recent pilot reports that deserve recording, without further comment on its cause.

What Hind made of it

Printed without comment as a pilot report.

In their words

  • The light made a sharp turn and the light left at supersonic speed. No sonic boom was heard.
