Sighting in Nogent-sur-Marne, October 31, 1980

Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, France

Sighting on October 31, 1980 in Nogent-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At about 6:45 a.m., a witness travelling on a train noticed two points of light. They seemed to keep pace with the train as it moved along. No further information could be gathered about the phenomenon: there is nothing on its duration, colour, apparent size or the weather conditions.

With so little to go on, GEIPAN was unable to reach any explanation. The case, which comes down to two points of light seen from a train, was classified C, meaning the data are insufficient to draw a conclusion.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
