Sighting in Sarreguemines, December 1, 1983
Moselle, Grand Est, France
Sighting on December 1, 1983 in Sarreguemines (Moselle, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).
What happened
At around 10 p.m., two witnesses watched a very bright phenomenon for a few seconds. The object was circular and fluorescent in colour, and it left red and yellow trails behind it. It moved quickly without changing its shape or its direction, but it seemed to be losing altitude. It then disappeared into the landscape.
No further information could be gathered about the phenomenon. GEIPAN therefore classified the case as C, meaning there was not enough data to offer an explanation.
