Sighting in Lacroix-Saint-Ouen, October 8, 1954
Oise, Hauts-de-France, France
Sighting on October 8, 1954 in Lacroix-Saint-Ouen (Oise, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At about 11:30 pm, four witnesses saw a luminous object shaped like a circle in the sky. It moved from east to west, and the sighting lasted only a few seconds.
The gendarmerie nationale recorded the case on a very brief information sheet, which is the only record available. An observation of this kind can have a variety of origins, such as sunlight reflecting off an aircraft, a balloon or a bolide. Because there was not enough information, the GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data).
