Sighting in Hure, January 1, 1978

Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Sighting on January 1, 1978 in Hure (Gironde, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At about 5:15 pm, a farmer noticed a flashing orange light in the sky to the southwest. It moved slowly toward the south. The witness watched it for about two minutes.

No other witness was found for this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data): the available information was too limited to reach a conclusion, and the investigation could only record the sighting of an object moving slowly.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
