What happened
During the night of 6 to 7 August 1988, a witness was on the terrace of a holiday villa together with their whole family. They saw a luminous, elongated object moving across the sky at great speed and making no noise. The object then vanished, leaving no trace behind.
The investigation could not gather any further information that might explain the phenomenon. Because the data were insufficient, the GEIPAN classified the case as C.
