Sighting in Cournon, December 24, 1978
Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Sighting on December 24, 1978 in Cournon (Puy-de-Dôme, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Around 9 p.m., two witnesses noticed a luminous object in the sky. It was moving slowly and giving off lights of several colors. Around 11 p.m., one of the two witnesses said they had seen the object again, and that it had once more moved to a different position.
The statements collected were very brief, and no other testimony came in to supplement them. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning insufficient data, and records only the observation of a luminous object in motion.
