Sighting in Herrin, March 31, 2013
Nord, Hauts-de-France, France
Sighting on March 31, 2013 in Herrin (Nord, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
In the evening, at 17:54, a witness driving a car noticed a black, diamond-shaped object with facets above a field. The object was spinning on itself. The sky was overcast and no wind could be felt.
No other testimony was collected. A field investigation was carried out with the witness, including an interview and a reconstruction conducted properly. The witness came across as very sincere, but the observation lacks consistency because there was no corroboration and no additional witnesses.
GEIPAN rated the strangeness of the case as medium to low: plausible hypotheses can be put forward, but they could be neither confirmed nor ruled out. The case was classified as category C because reliable information was insufficient.
