Sighting in Dol-de-Bretagne, January 14, 1978
Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France
Sighting on January 14, 1978 in Dol-de-Bretagne (Ille-et-Vilaine, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Between 5:57 and 6:45 a.m., several people noticed strong red-orange glows that lit up the whole surrounding area for a few seconds. Separately, a motorist saw two luminous balls, one orange and one blue, about 500 metres ahead of the vehicle.
GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the data were insufficient: the available information was too limited to say more about the nature of the phenomenon. The investigation concluded only that red-orange glows had been observed.
