Sighting in Reims, November 15, 1979

Marne, Grand Est, France

Sighting on November 15, 1979 in Reims (Marne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 7:30 a.m., a witness and their spouse noticed a bright white object, triangular in shape, from their home. It hung motionless at first, then began to move very slowly toward the southwest while climbing. Gradually it faded in the sky until it was gone.

No other witness came forward about this sighting. The GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough data to offer an explanation: it was the observation of a luminous triangular object moving, and the information available remains too sparse.

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