Sighting in Trélou-sur-Marne, January 13, 1979

Aisne, Hauts-de-France, France

Sighting on January 13, 1979 in Trélou-sur-Marne (Aisne, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At 6:15 in the morning, a witness standing in the yard of their home noticed a luminous phenomenon that intrigued them. In the sky, an object shaped like a dumbbell hung motionless. It consisted of two pale yellow spheres, each surrounded by a halo, joined by a fairly vivid blue-violet section.

After a few seconds of observation, the object left at high speed and disappeared behind the rooftops of the houses.

Investigators found no other witness to this phenomenon that day. The following day, another person saw a luminous phenomenon, but it was a different one. The case is classed C (insufficient data), as information on these phenomena is lacking. GEIPAN's conclusion is the observation of a luminous phenomenon made up of two spheres.

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