Sighting in Épernay, February 10, 1996
Marne, Grand Est, France
Sighting on February 10, 1996 in Épernay (Marne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 8 p.m., a witness, their spouse and their son noticed a very bright point in the sky, clearly larger in apparent size than a star. A second point was also visible. The witness filmed what they saw.
GEIPAN classified the case as C: the information gathered, including the footage, was too limited to allow the phenomenon to be analysed. The investigation therefore could not determine what it was. The conclusion records the observation of a bright point in the sky.
