Sighting in Félines, October 18, 1992
Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Sighting on October 18, 1992 in Félines (Ardèche, France). GEIPAN considers the phenomenon probably identified (class B).
What happened
At around 10:00 pm, a couple driving in their car first noticed one flashing light, then two, hanging motionless in the sky at low altitude. The lights were orange, with a white light, and rotated counterclockwise. A dark shape lay beneath them. The witnesses heard no sound during the observation.
After about ten minutes, the lights moved away, travelling very slowly.
The GEIPAN classified the case as B: despite the lack of noise reported, it is very likely that the witnesses saw the lights of two hovering helicopters, which then flew off.
