Sighting in Sainte-Cérotte, November 26, 1977
Sarthe, Pays de la Loire, France
Sighting on November 26, 1977 in Sainte-Cérotte (Sarthe, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 6:30 p.m., a driver and their passenger, who were traveling by car, noticed a luminous phenomenon that caught their attention. Throughout their journey they saw it change shape, though its color stayed a reddish-orange. It did not seem to move across the sky.
No other witness account was gathered about this phenomenon. The available information is too imprecise to suggest an explanation, so the GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data) and concluded that a luminous phenomenon had been observed.
