What happened

At around 6 a.m., a witness saw a luminous ball for four to five seconds. Its apparent diameter was similar to that of the full moon. The sphere moved without making any sound and left a faint, glowing trail behind it.

No other information was gathered about the phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, meaning the data were insufficient to reach a conclusion.
