What happened

At around 8 p.m., a witness who was walking along the street noticed a flying object with a rectangular shape. Its rounded front carried a white light, while the rear ended in a triangular point. The craft looked metallic and grey, and underneath it the witness saw one red light and two green lights. It moved slowly and silently at an altitude of about 200 metres.

No further information could be gathered by the GEIPAN about this sighting. Because the data are insufficient, the case is classified C.
