Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on March 28, 1981 in Le Blanc-Mesnil (Seine-Saint-Denis, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Two witnesses saw a craft in the sky that they first took for a fireball. The sighting took place in the afternoon, between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. The object was moving at very high speed along a path running from the north-west to the north-east. It was circular, with a circumference estimated at roughly 3 to 4 metres.
No other information was gathered about the sighting. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was insufficient data: it was the observation of a phenomenon moving very quickly, and nothing further could be established.
