Sighting in Paris, September 7, 2009
Île-de-France, France
Sighting on September 7, 2009, exact location not given (département: Paris, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
In the early evening, between about 6:10 and 6:15 p.m., a witness noticed an object in the sky toward the west-northwest, which they described as a bright ball giving off strong, intermittent flashes. No other witness account of the phenomenon was collected.
The witness did not wish to fill in the standard observation questionnaire. Without precise information, no investigation could be carried out. GEIPAN therefore classified the case as C, meaning insufficient data.
