Sighting in Saint-Séverin, November 10, 2025

At around 6:45 pm, a witness noticed two sources of light in the south-east, about 45° above the horizon. They were clearly brighter than the surrounding stars and stayed motionless. After three minutes they gradually faded out, even though the sky was perfectly clear. No other testimony was collected, and there is no photo or video.

The investigation looked at three possibilities. Astronomical objects were ruled out, since nothing, let alone two objects, was that bright in that direction at that time. Bright satellites were also ruled out, because an object in orbit moves too fast to stay still for three minutes. Aircraft, particularly helicopters, remained a possibility: searchlights pointed toward the witness could account for the strong brightness and the lack of noise. However, the air traffic maps supplied by the CAPCODA did not allow the aircraft involved to be positively identified.

It is hard to pinpoint lights accurately in a night sky with no reference points, or to confirm that they were stationary. Without a photo or video, the analysis could go no further. GEIPAN classified the case as C: phenomenon not identified due to insufficient data.
