What happened

In the evening, two witnesses saw a green luminous ball. It moved slowly from east to west. The sighting lasted about three quarters of an hour, between 7:45 pm and 8:30 pm.

No further information could be gathered about the sighting. Because the data were insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as C and could go no further than describing a green luminous ball moving from east to west.
