Sighting in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, June 30, 2010
Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, France
Sighting on June 30, 2010 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (Val-de-Marne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At about 5:15 p.m., a witness noticed a large black dot hanging motionless in the sky, which intrigued them. The dot then began to move and disappeared behind a cloud. The source gives no duration for the sighting, no direction of travel and no precise apparent size.
The investigation rated the case as moderately strange and of good consistency, despite the lack of a precise orientation for the observation. However, the various hypotheses could not be checked. The questionnaire reached GEIPAN a month after the event, too late for radar recordings to still be obtained. No independent testimony or cross-checking was available. The case was therefore classified C, for insufficient data.
