Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Sighting on December 14, 1979 in Villemontais (Loire, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At around 9:30 p.m., a young motorcyclist saw six bright, oval-shaped objects in the sky. They moved quickly in formation, in two groups of three, and then vanished toward the west.

The investigation found no traces in the surrounding area and gathered no other witness accounts of the phenomenon. Because there was not enough information, GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data).

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