What happened

At around 7 a.m., several witnesses noticed an unusual luminous phenomenon in the sky, coming closer to them. One of them made out a dark mass with a hexagonal shape, with flashing white lights coming from each of its edges. The object moved without any sound being heard.

The investigation gathered no further information about what was seen. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as category C.
