Sighting in Crest, October 5, 1981

Drôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Sighting on October 5, 1981 in Crest (Drôme, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Between 9 and 10 in the morning, a woman driving and her passenger were travelling along a national road. All of a sudden they noticed a black object that looked like a pointed stick. It was slowly crossing the road from left to right, very close in front of their car. It stayed in view for about two seconds, then vanished for good.

The GEIPAN investigation gathered no further information about the phenomenon. Because the data are insufficient, the case is classified C. The conclusion refers to the observation of a stick crossing the road.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
