Sighting in Agen, March 24, 1978

Lot-et-Garonne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Sighting on March 24, 1978 in Agen (Lot-et-Garonne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 10 p.m., from inside their home, the witness noticed a dazzling, scarlet-red light. A rectangular object then appeared, surrounded by this light. Inside it, the witness could make out two yellow circles, which might have been portholes.

The object moved horizontally, then vanished abruptly, leaving a faint pink glow behind it.

No further information was gathered about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as category C.
