Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
Sighting on May 8, 1993 in Bethoncourt (Doubs, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 10:30 p.m., three witnesses noticed a large red luminous ball in the sky. It moved slowly and silently, with rays of the same color radiating out in all directions around it.
After two to three minutes, the ball vanished quickly, leaving only a small point of light in a clear sky. No other witness account was gathered, and the gendarmerie could not obtain any further details about the phenomenon.
GEIPAN classified the case as C, because there was not enough information to reach a conclusion.
