Sphere over Riez, 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 28 novembre 1980 entre 6h 45 et 7h du matin deux témoins aperçoivent sur l'horizon un objet circulaire orangé qui traverse le ciel très rapidement. Leurs observations ne durent que quelques secondes. Aucune autre information ne sera recueillie sur ce phénomène pour lequel nous manquons de données. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1980-11-00831). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
