Unspecified over Belleville-Sur-Saone, Rhône-Alpes · France

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Les 18,19 et 20 mars 1977 plusieurs personnes dont des gendarmes observent à partir de 20h30 la présence d'une étrange lueur dans le ciel. Celle-ci se déplace lentement et semble par moment grossir ou diminuer. La couleur peut varier du blanc au jaune orangé. La lueur disparaît vers 21h. L'hypothèse d'une observation astronomique n'a pu être confirmée par manque d'informations. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1977-03-00399). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
