Sighting in Lisieux, August 4, 1991
Calvados, Normandie, France
Sighting on August 4, 1991 in Lisieux (Calvados, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 2:20 a.m., two gendarmes on patrol saw a red sphere about 80 cm across. It travelled at very high speed, making no noise, about fifteen metres above the ground. The sighting lasted only a very short time.
The accounts given by the two gendarmes agree with each other. The phenomenon could not be identified, and the GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was insufficient data.
