Sighting in Le Conquet, August 19, 1989
Finistère, Bretagne, France
Sighting on August 19, 1989 in Le Conquet (Finistère, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Around 11 p.m., a gendarme returning from duty and their spouse noticed a large orange glow above the buildings of the gendarmerie station. It looked about four times bigger than a star. Then, all of a sudden, the phenomenon shot away at high speed until the two witnesses lost sight of it.
No further information could be gathered about the sighting. Because the data were insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as C.
