Sighting on August 15, 2008 in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
GEIPAN was alerted by a telephone call reporting that many people had been seeing a motionless black spot on the sun in the late afternoon, since the end of August. No other testimony or information was received afterwards to supplement the call.
Because of this lack of additional information to date, the case could not be investigated further. It was classified C (insufficient data). GEIPAN's conclusion records the observation of a fixed black spot on the sun.
