Sighting in Montluel, November 10, 2009
Ain, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Sighting on November 10, 2009 in Montluel (Ain, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 8:30 pm, a witness noticed a large circular light among the clouds. An aircraft appeared to turn away to avoid the light, which then vanished suddenly.
When the witness went to the gendarmerie, they chose not to provide any further details. No other testimony was collected about the phenomenon. The investigation considered that the aircraft's movement most likely followed a normal air corridor, since an airport is nearby. Because of the lack of information, GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the data were insufficient to reach a conclusion.
