What happened
At around 11 p.m., a witness saw a thin, elongated shape in the sky. It was motionless and very bright. After a few seconds, it sped off toward the southwest and vanished.
No other witness account was collected about this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough information: it was the observation of a luminous phenomenon that disappeared at very high speed.
