Sighting in Aramon, December 20, 1978
Gard, Occitanie, France
Sighting on December 20, 1978 in Aramon (Gard, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 10:15 pm, a witness noticed long pink trails in the sky, followed by two craft shaped like spinning tops, which were rotating on themselves. The two objects moved at very high speed, and the main witness heard no noise while they travelled.
Another witness, called to the spot, saw only a blaze of light across the sky. No other testimony was gathered about the phenomenon.
GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the available data are insufficient to reach a conclusion. Its conclusion was that the witness observed two craft moving rapidly across the sky.
