Sighting in Marcilly-sur-Eure, September 23, 1999
Eure, Normandie, France
Sighting on September 23, 1999 in Marcilly-sur-Eure (Eure, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Over three days in a row, on 23, 24 and 25 September 1999, several witnesses living in two neighbouring houses noticed a strong white glow around 6 a.m. It stayed motionless in the sky and faded as daylight came. The phenomenon was also seen in the evening, at about 10:15 p.m.
It made no sound and was so bright that it was hard to look at through binoculars. The source gives no further information about these sightings.
GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data): a very bright point of light was observed over several days, but there was not enough information to offer an explanation.
