Sighting in Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, July 4, 2001
Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Sighting on July 4, 2001 in Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade (Bouches-du-Rhône, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 10:30 pm, several witnesses saw an object go by that was about the size of an airliner, comparable to a DC-10. It carried a row of yellow lights, flew fairly low and made a muffled, low-pitched noise. The source gives no further information about the sighting: nothing on its duration, the direction it took or the weather.
GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough data. Its conclusion is limited to noting the passage of an aircraft-sized object accompanied by a dull sound.
