Sighting in Saint-Georges-du-Bois, May 6, 2008

Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France

Sighting on May 6, 2008 in Saint-Georges-du-Bois (Maine-et-Loire, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Two witnesses were at home late at night, shortly before midnight, when they noticed a very bright orange-tinted ball moving across the sky toward the north. It eventually disappeared from view, hidden by the landscape. Whether the ball was accompanied by any sound could not be confirmed. No other witness account was collected about this phenomenon.

GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was insufficient data. Its conclusion is limited to the observation of an orange ball moving through the sky, with nothing more that could be specified.

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