Sphere over Meylan, Rhône-Alpes · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 4 juin 1977 vers 11h un témoin et son fils observent un point de petite dimensions de couleur sombre se détachant dans le ciel clair. Ce point est immobile et durant l'observation des éclairs de plusieurs couleurs sont remarqués. Aucun bruit ne sera entendu. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera recueilli sur ce phénomène pour lequel nous manquons d'informations. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1977-06-00411). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
