On January 4, 1994 with 23h50 a man who was watching television observes outside an orange light apperance moving to and from. While approaching, the witness observes a luminous conical [cone-shaped] form turning around its axis and comprising on its circumference stripes of various colors. The form remains stationary and moves away suddenly very quickly to become one luminous point before returning gently towards the house. The witness, with the impression of feeling observed [by the object], feels fear and hides under the covers in his dark room. The phenomenon is still there, the witness then hears a noise on the ground outside and perceives several flashes. At this time his small dog also takes fear and takes refuge under the cover. The witness then feels muscular contractions in his legs and the bottom of his back. The whole of the observation lasted several minutes, the episode of the room itself being estimated at 3 to 4 minutes. The witness was very shocked by his experience, which did not receive any explanation.

The original summary in French:

Le 4 janvier 1994 à 23h50 un homme qui regarde la télévision observe au dehors une lumière orange semblant faire des va et vient. En s'approchant, le témoin observe une forme conique lumineuse tournant autour de son axe et comportant sur son pourtour des rayures de différentes couleurs. La forme reste stationnaire et s'éloigne tout à coup très rapidement pour ne devenir qu'un point lumineux avant de revenir doucement vers la maison. Le témoin à l'impression de se sentir observé, prend peur et va se cacher sous ses couvertures dans sa chambre dans le noir. Le phénomène est toujours là, le témoin entend alors un bruit au sol à l'extérieur et perçoit plusieurs flash réguliers. A ce moment sa petite chienne prend également peur et se réfugie sous la couverture. Le témoin ressent alors des contractions musculaires dans les jambes et dans le bas du dos. L'ensemble de l'observation a duré plusieurs minutes, l'épisode de la chambre étant lui-même évalué à 3 à 4 minutes. Le témoin a été très choqué par son expérience qui n'a reçu aucune explication.
