Location. Between Hestroff & Hobling, Moselle France

Date: October 24 1976 Time: 2230

Romeo Lucarelli was driving home from Hestroff to Hobling with his little daughter when he saw two lights ahead, which he took at first to be a car parked on top of a hill. As he approached, he recognized that it was a dumbbell shaped UFO about 50 ft long hovering in the air about 300 ft altitude. After he had passed by it, it began to follow him, and passed over the car so as to be in front of him. He made headlights signals, and then saw in the middle of the dumbbell a rectangular “screen” feebly lighted by orange light, in which 2 silhouettes appeared, as if looking at him. He came to the village and drove to his house; the UFO now hovered above his garage, and he pointed it out to his wife. She went to get binoculars, but just as he was about to use them the UFO “turned out its lights.” They heard a dull humming sound. At the spot which he had first seen it, three landing marks were found; each consisted of two tangential double circles of crushed grass, the outer ones about 3 ft greater in radius than the inner ones, and the whole about 50 ft wide.
