Sighting in Landser, July 9, 1987
Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France
Sighting on July 9, 1987 in Landser (Haut-Rhin, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Shortly before midnight, a witness looking out of a window noticed an elongated object shaped like a cigar. The sighting lasted only a few seconds. The object was a coppery red and moved across the sky very fast, leaving no trail behind it.
No other report of this phenomenon was ever made. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was insufficient data: the investigation amounts to the description of a cigar-shaped object moving at high speed.
