The Mesh Wing on the Brest Expressway
On a rainy March night in 1979 a woman driving in Finistère reported a dark rocket-shaped object hanging three metres above the expressway near Brest-Guipavas airport. Half an hour later, on the way back, a flat wing of grey metal mesh stopped just in front of her car. This is the record of what was reported, not a verdict on what hung over the road.
