Sighting in La Caine, January 28, 1983
Calvados, Normandie, France
Sighting on January 28, 1983 in La Caine (Calvados, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Shortly after midnight, a motorist noticed an object on their right that was shaped like a spinning top. It hovered two or three metres above the ground and gave off weak red and green lights. The object moved in a zigzag pattern, then climbed in spirals to a very great height and disappeared.
The GEIPAN investigation could not gather any further information about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the case was classified C.
