What happened

At around 4:30 in the morning, two witnesses saw a red and blue light moving along the SNCF railway line. It travelled very fast and then disappeared.

No other testimony was collected about the phenomenon. GEIPAN did not have enough information to reach a conclusion, so the case is classed C (insufficient data), and the observation is described as a light following the SNCF line.
