Sighting in Tourcoing, December 8, 1987

Nord, Hauts-de-France, France

Sighting on December 8, 1987 in Tourcoing (Nord, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

A witness was in their kitchen when they noticed a very bright point in the sky. It stayed motionless for about five minutes, then began to move slowly.

The account contains too little information to allow a serious analysis. GEIPAN therefore classified the case as C, insufficient data: it was the sighting of a bright point, first stationary and then drifting slowly, but the lack of detail made it impossible to reach 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.
