What happened
At around 7:50 p.m., several people saw a streak of light moving slowly across the sky. Its altitude was not specified, and no sound was heard while it was visible.
The gendarmerie carried out an investigation, but the statements it collected were very brief and yielded little usable information. GEIPAN concluded that what had been observed was the passage of a streak of light in the sky. Because the data were insufficient, the case was classified C.
