Yonne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
Sighting on April 30, 1978 in Saint-Sauveur (Yonne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 9:30 pm, several witnesses noticed three fireballs moving down across the sky. The three objects eventually dropped behind the horizon line, giving off a red glow as they disappeared. The witnesses heard no sound.
No trace was found on the ground in the area concerned. GEIPAN classified the case as C, because the available information on this phenomenon is insufficient to reach a conclusion. The investigation could only establish that different witnesses saw these three fireballs descend until they vanished behind the horizon.
