Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on July 4, 1980 in Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
Shortly before 10:30 p.m., a witness noticed a very bright orange disc in the sky. A thin trail of smoke accompanied it on its right-hand side. The whole thing moved slowly and without making any noise. The observation lasted less than a minute, after which the disc disappeared and a yellow light took its place.
GEIPAN gathered no further information about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the case was classified C and no explanation could be put forward.
