What happened

At 5 a.m., a witness looking out of their bedroom window saw a red glow and a dark mass. The mass was moving from north to south at low altitude. The witness heard no sound during the observation, and the morning was slightly misty.

No other witness account was collected for this sighting. Because there was not enough information, GEIPAN could not offer an explanation and classified the case as C (insufficient data). Its conclusion records the observation of a red glow and the passage of a dark mass.
