Sighting in Mâcon, January 2, 2001
Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
Sighting on January 2, 2001 in Mâcon (Saône-et-Loire, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 7 p.m., a witness noticed three points of light in the sky. At first they stayed still and made no sound, then they began to move, drifting slowly to the left. Two flashing lights, one red and one white, were visible at that point. The sighting lasted about four minutes.
The case rests solely on this person's direct account: the gendarmerie did not carry out an investigation, and no other information is available. With so little to go on, the GEIPAN classified it as C (insufficient data), meaning it could be neither identified nor declared unexplained.
