What happened
A witness reported by telephone to GEIPAN an observation made at about 8:47 p.m. They saw a dark mass, which looked larger than a star, moving from south to north. The sighting lasted eight minutes, and the witness said they took several photographs while it was going on.
No further information could be obtained from the witness, so no investigation was possible. The case was classified C, meaning there was insufficient data. GEIPAN's only conclusion was that it was the observation of a dark mass in motion.
