Sighting in Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, November 16, 1993

Manche, Normandie, France

Sighting on November 16, 1993 in Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte (Manche, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

During the night, at around 00:45, a witness noticed a motionless streak of light in the sky, which they likened to a neon tube. A number of points of light were revolving around it. A faint noise, reminiscent of a small aircraft, accompanied the phenomenon. The witness woke a companion, who was also able to see it.

A press article covered the event, but the investigation could not gather any further information. Because of this lack of data, GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough information to reach a conclusion.

Account rewritten by SkyUnknown from the investigation report published by GEIPAN (CNES). The original text and case documents are on the official record.
