Unspecified over National, Rhône-Alpes · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 2 novembre 1978 entre 18h45 et 19h30 plusieurs personnes dans les départements de la Loire et de la Haute -Loire observent les déplacements d'un objet lumineux composé de plusieurs lueurs de couleurs différentes. Malgré des divergences dans les témoignages, tous les témoins sont intrigués par l'absence de bruit provenant de cet objet. Malgré l'enquête de gendarmerie, trop peu d'informations seront recueillies pour consolider toute hypothèse. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1978-11-00563). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
