What happened

Between 6:45 and 7:00 in the morning, two witnesses noticed a round, orange-colored object near the horizon. It crossed the sky very quickly, and they watched it for only a few seconds.

The investigation turned up no further information about the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, GEIPAN classified the case as C.
