France
Sighting on February 14, 1978 in Poya (France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 4 p.m., several people saw a bright, oval-shaped object cross the sky. It moved quickly in a straight line. The witnesses noticed neither any sound nor any trail behind it.
The witnesses had first given a different date for their sighting, 23 February. The investigation established that it had actually taken place on 14 February 2008. No other testimony about the phenomenon was gathered. Because the available information was insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data).
