Unspecified over Cagnes-Sur-Mer, Provence Alpes Cote d'azur · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 30 avril 1977 entre 23h et 23h25 des témoins aperçoivent une lueur et entendent un bruit de crépitement ou de sifflement. La gendarmerie sera avertie tardivement des ces faits et ne pourra trouver aucune trace ou indice sur les lieux. Les témoignages divergent sur beaucoup de données et les faits n'ont pu être déterminés avec précisions. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1977-04-00405). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
