What happened
At 8:46 p.m., a pilot who was off duty at home reported by telephone having seen an object. It was not incandescent and looked like an orange glow. It moved in a straight line along a rising path and was surrounded by a halo.
No further information could be obtained from the witness, so the investigation could not gather any additional detail about the duration, direction or circumstances of the sighting. GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data), as there was too little information to propose an explanation.
