Sarthe, Pays de la Loire, France

Sighting on May 17, 1993 in Le Mans (Sarthe, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Around 12:15 p.m., a witness was in their garden when they noticed a bright white disc far away. By their estimate, it was moving three to four times faster than an airliner. The witness heard no sound and followed the phenomenon through binoculars for about two minutes.

No further information could be gathered about the sighting. Because the data were insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as C.
