Cantal, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Sighting on December 3, 1978 in Pierrefort (Cantal, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Between 5 and 6 in the morning, three witnesses noticed a strong light shining down on the ground of a pasture. They also saw flashing red and blue lights.

The gendarmerie went to the site of the phenomenon and found no trace and no object. GEIPAN classified the case as C: it was the observation of a luminous phenomenon, but the information available is too limited to draw any conclusion.
