Sighting in Colombes, July 25, 1979
Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on July 25, 1979 in Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 9:30 p.m., two witnesses noticed a small orange point of light in the sky. It moved across the sky and then seemed to come to a stop. Its brightness then dropped sharply, and the point vanished all at once, leaving only a white trail behind.
No other witness accounts were collected for this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data), because there was too little information to analyze it: the case concerns the observation of an orange point of light with a trail.
