Sighting in France, January 10, 1977
Sighting on January 10, 1977, exact location not given (France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Starting at about 20:45 in the evening, several people spread across different départements noticed luminous phenomena in the sky that they could not account for. All of them described reddish lights moving quickly and silently.
The gendarmes were called right away, but they did not see any of these phenomena themselves. GEIPAN lacked information about the sightings, so the case was classified C (insufficient data), and the conclusion states only that the witnesses saw luminous phenomena passing by.
