Sighting in Glay, September 15, 1978
Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
Sighting on September 15, 1978 in Glay (Doubs, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
A witness was in their garden at some point between 9 and 10 p.m. when they saw a luminous object passing across the sky at very high altitude. It was moving from west to east. The object was shaped like a cigar and lit by white lights. The witness heard no sound at any point during the observation.
No other witness account was collected about this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning insufficient data: the investigation could only record the observation of a luminous object moving across the sky.
