What happened
At around 4:25 a.m., a witness briefly noticed a stationary point of light in the sky, to the east of the Pole Star. The sighting lasted only about three seconds, and the light then faded out gradually.
The witness gave no further information about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the investigation could not lead to an identification or an explanation.
