From Nowhere To Nowhere

 Every year Louis Mathias, a shepherd, would take his sheep up into the Alps that rise near Nice, France. As the summer sun scorched the grass in the lowlands, the flock would find however, Mathias happened upon an extraordinary sight in a tiny, remote valley in the mountains.

 

Upon hearing the old shepherd’s report, local police commandant Henri Pelet had to investigate. After  an hour’s journey by jeep and an additional three hours on foot, what Pelet found were two huge parallel tracks, spaced six inches apart, in the snow. Each track was 7 inches wide and 10 inches deep, and they curved across the mountainside in an arc 70 yards long.

Only a heavy mechanical object could have made the tracks, it seemed; pebbles and rocks beneath them had been crushed almost to dust. Yet the remote valley was completely inaccessible to vehicles.

Had a patrolling French Army helicopter landed there? Not only did the army have no such report, but to touch down in such a spot would have been risky.

It was also suggested that a flying saucer may have been responsible for the tracks. But no one had reported seeing any flying objects at all.

To this day, the authorities are still seeking an answer.
