Sighting in Saint-André-de-Cubzac, July 20, 1977

Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Sighting on July 20, 1977 in Saint-André-de-Cubzac (Gironde, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

The witness described the sighting in a letter. At around one in the morning, they were in a car with their daughter when the two of them saw a saucer-shaped craft for a few seconds. A slightly yellow halo surrounded it. The craft moved slowly across the sky, spinning on itself, and seemed to be descending toward the car. It then climbed back up and disappeared in the direction of Bordeaux.

Several people were interviewed during the investigation, but no other account was obtained that could confirm or contradict what the witness reported. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as C.

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