Sighting in Gaillac, May 12, 1997

Tarn, Occitanie, France

Sighting on May 12, 1997 in Gaillac (Tarn, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

A witness saw luminous streaks for a few seconds, each with a small trail, in two different places. The exact date of the sighting is uncertain: it was either 15 or 25 May 1997. The file contains no other information about the circumstances, the time, the direction or the precise appearance of the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as C and could not establish any explanation.
