Sighting in Commercy, September 1, 2010

At 9:58 pm, a witness was in their garden when a dark red object flew very quickly overhead. The witness watched it for about three seconds, long enough to see it travel from north to south. No sound was heard. The witness had trouble describing the object's shape, because the sighting was so brief and the phenomenon so fleeting.

GEIPAN rated the strangeness of the observation as low. The consistency of the case was also low: there was only one witness, who had been hoping to try to observe this kind of phenomenon, and the sighting was very short. GEIPAN had requested a gendarmerie report that could have supported the account, but none was provided. With too little information, no investigation could be carried out, and the case was classified C, insufficient data.
