Sighting in La Bachellerie, December 24, 1976

Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Sighting on December 24, 1976 in La Bachellerie (Dordogne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 7:15 p.m., two witnesses noticed bright lights appearing in the sky one after another. They counted seven in all. Some of them moved with an oscillating motion before disappearing. No sound was heard while the lights were moving.

No other witness account was collected about the phenomenon. The case lacks detail, so GEIPAN classified it C, insufficient data, and no explanation could be established.

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