What happened
At around 6 a.m., several witnesses noticed a luminous phenomenon in the sky. It was an oval, orange-colored object moving very slowly at a very high altitude.
The sighting lasted about ten minutes. Throughout that time the object kept the same shape and color, and its speed stayed constant. No other information was gathered about the phenomenon.
GEIPAN's conclusion was that the witnesses had observed an object moving slowly at a constant speed. With nothing further to go on, the case was classified C, meaning the data are insufficient to reach a conclusion.
