Sighting in Saussay, March 17, 1986

Eure-et-Loir, Centre-Val de Loire, France

Sighting on March 17, 1986 in Saussay (Eure-et-Loir, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At about 4 a.m., a witness saw a luminous phenomenon: a sphere giving off light. It moved slowly and lit up the ground over an area of roughly 1,000 square metres. The sighting lasted about 20 seconds.

No further information about the phenomenon could be gathered, because of the very early hour. The GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the available data were insufficient to draw a conclusion.

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