A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 6 novembre 1978 vers 7h30 trois personnes observent le lent déplacement d'un objet lumineux qui les intrigue. Aucun bruit ne sera entendu durant l'observation de cet objet de couleur orange. La gendarmerie contactée dans l'après midi ne pourra faire aucune constatation. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera recueilli par la gendarmerie sur ce phénomène pour lequel nous manquons de précisions. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1978-11-00564). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
