Sighting in Ambert, December 26, 2000
Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Sighting on December 26, 2000 in Ambert (Puy-de-Dôme, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
The account was collected in February 2010, almost ten years after the events. On 26 or 27 December 2000, between 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., several members of the same family saw what looked like a very bright disc in the sky. During this time they noticed power cuts and interference on the television.
The object moved and then vanished all at once. No particular sound was heard during the sighting.
GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning insufficient data. The exact date and time are unknown, and no gendarmerie report had been drawn up at the time. The lack of information made any investigation impossible.
