What happened
At around 7:30 in the morning, three people noticed a luminous orange object moving slowly, which caught their attention. They heard no sound at any point while they watched it.
The gendarmerie was contacted in the afternoon but was unable to make any findings. It did not obtain any other witness account of the phenomenon. GEIPAN classed the case as C, because the available details were insufficient: the investigation concludes only that a luminous object was seen moving.
