Sighting in Saint-Herblain, February 1, 1982

Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France

Sighting on February 1, 1982 in Saint-Herblain (Loire-Atlantique, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

Between 11:20 and 11:30 p.m., several amateur astronomers were looking at the sky through binoculars when they noticed about fifteen objects. The objects moved toward the south-southeast and made no sound. They were very bright and coloured, with a slightly elongated shape.

Throughout the observation, the witnesses saw no change in shape or colour.

GEIPAN classified the case as C: the information available is too limited to allow the phenomenon to be analysed.
