Nord, Hauts-de-France, France

What happened
At around 10 p.m., the witness was alone at home in a third-floor apartment. They noticed an unusual star in the sky, shining white and yellow. Shortly afterwards, a green sphere suddenly appeared next to the star. The whole thing then vanished toward the horizon, and no sound was heard.
No further information about the phenomenon could be gathered during the investigation. GEIPAN classed the case as C, meaning there was insufficient data: the object remained unidentified and had appeared as a star with a white and yellow glow.
