What happened
At about 8:45 p.m., a witness who was looking at the sky noticed a glow that stayed in one place. After roughly ten seconds, it moved off at great speed and vanished. The witness did not hear any sound.
The file contains no further information. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the data were insufficient to offer an explanation: it was the observation of a point of light that disappeared at high speed.
