Sighting in Bourail, October 21, 1977

France

Sighting on October 21, 1977 in Bourail (France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 6:30 p.m., two witnesses noticed a rounded, luminous phenomenon in the sky. It was moving horizontally toward the east. It soon vanished into the cloud cover. The witnesses heard no sound during the observation.

No other testimony could be gathered about the phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough information: it was a rapid movement of a luminous phenomenon across the sky, and nothing more could be said about it.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
