Sighting in La Capelle-et-Masmolène, June 26, 2011

Gard, Occitanie, France

Sighting on June 26, 2011 in La Capelle-et-Masmolène (Gard, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

One evening around 11:10 pm, a witness noticed a very bright light source moving across the sky. As it passed over their home, they could make out three white or orange points of light arranged in a triangle. The object moved slowly and without a sound: the witness heard no noise during the four minutes the sighting lasted.

Another person who was at the location also saw the phenomenon but did not report what they had seen.

No hypothesis could be validated by the investigation. GEIPAN therefore classified the case as C, because there was not enough information.

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