What happened
At about 9:30 p.m., two people noticed a luminous object in the sky that puzzled them. It was cigar-shaped and appeared very long. It flew at low altitude and at a steady speed, following a path from the northeast to the southwest. The witnesses heard no sound.
Only one account of the sighting was collected. GEIPAN classified the case as C, insufficient data, because there was not enough information to suggest an explanation.
