Sighting in Louvatange, February 6, 1998

Jura, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France

Sighting on February 6, 1998 in Louvatange (Jura, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Around 4 p.m., a witness who was cutting wood noticed an object in the sky that looked like a rocket. It was moving horizontally and giving off a low rumbling sound. The source gives nothing more: no duration, colour, apparent size, direction or weather conditions, and no other witness is mentioned.

GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough data to reach a conclusion. Its findings are limited to the observation of a rocket-shaped object moving horizontally.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
