L'observation a duré deux minutes. Aucun autre témoignage n'a été 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 1978-01-00471). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
