Sighting in Riedisheim, September 22, 1981
Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France
Sighting on September 22, 1981 in Riedisheim (Haut-Rhin, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At 6:15 in the morning, a witness in their bedroom saw an flying object through the window, moving from the northwest toward the southeast. The sighting lasted about one minute. The object was elliptical in shape with blurred edges, and had a sort of dome on its upper part. It gave off a yellow-orange light.
No one else in the area reported having seen the phenomenon. The information available was too limited to propose an explanation, so the GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data), simply describing the observation of a luminous elliptical object.
