Sighting in Les Mureaux, February 27, 2009
Yvelines, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on February 27, 2009 in Les Mureaux (Yvelines, France). According to GEIPAN, it was most probably an aircraft (plane, helicopter…) (class B).
What happened
A witness saw two red lights moving silently across the sky at around 8:48 pm. At first they travelled in a circular pattern, then moved away toward the south. The witness later reported a separate sighting, made on 15 August 2009.
The investigation found that the witness's description fits the appearance of two military aircraft flying in formation. GEIPAN therefore classified the case as B, meaning it was probably a sighting of a patrol of military aircraft.
