Sighting in Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye, March 2, 1985

Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France

Sighting on March 2, 1985 in Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye (Côte-d'Or, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 10 p.m., a witness and their whole family watched a flame-colored ball for about fifteen minutes. It appeared to be roughly one meter across and left trails of the same color behind it. It moved slowly at an estimated altitude of about 800 meters, following the contours of the terrain. The witnesses heard no sound.

No further information could be gathered about the phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the data were insufficient. Its conclusion describes a flame-colored ball moving at about 800 meters in altitude and following the relief.

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