This week on Stories Lost, we travel to Taizé in eastern France, just north of Cluny, to revisit a 1972 overnight encounter seen by dozens from the amphitheatre known as “the crater.” “It looks like an egg.” — François Tantôt Five sweeping beams, seven yellow lights, and three disk-like “saucers” circling a grounded mass—reported for over two and a half hours. As four witnesses moved closer, a nearby dark form and a hedge produced impossible optics, while tingling, heat, and a bluish halo lingered after the object’s departure. But that’s only part of the story. 🔹 Sharp whistling like a Larsen effect 🔹 Seven lights & “solid” vertical beams 🔹 Flashlight beam bends straight up 🔹 Discs pace a passing mail plane 🔹 Blinding spotlight, heat, bluish mist 🕰 Chapters 00:00 The Field in the Dark 01:52 The Setting: Taizé and the Crater 03:05 A Quiet Night 03:55 The Light in the Valley 05:50 The Beams of Light 07:16 The Small Discs 08:34 Walking Toward the Object 10:01 The Hedge and the Dark Mass 11:22 The Flashlight Effect 12:29 The Red Light 13:13 Departure 15:35 The Roadside Encounter 16:59 The Broken Branch 19:14 Explanations and Doubt 20:22 The September Return 22:40 Investigators’ Analysis 25:33 Psychological Interpretation 27:29 Conclusion: A Structured Encounter 30:30 Closing This episode weaves together the fieldwork of GEPA and LDLN investigator Tyrode, commentary by René Fouéré, and first-hand accounts from witnesses including François Tantôt, Renata Faa, and Gérard Petit. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy forgotten casework and eerie true accounts. 👽 Support the channel: Support the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@storieslost/membership https://buymeacoffee.com/storieslost https://www.patreon.com/c/StoriesLost Keywords: Taizé case, UFO landing, hedge anomaly, François Tantôt, 1972 France
