Probable conventional

Unspecified over Plouguenast, Bretagne · France

A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.

The report, as filed

Vers 5 heures du matin ce 05 février 1984, plusieurs personnes ont aperçu dans la nuit noire, un objet rectangulaire éméttant une lueur intense bleu clair leur permettant de voir comme en plein jour. Cet objet se déplaçait sans bruit du Nord au sud et à très grande vitesse. L'observation a duré entre 5 et 8 secondes : le phénomène a disparu à l'horizon. Les descriptions des témoins permettent d'avancer l'observation probable d'une rentrée atmosphérique. [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]

Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1984-02-01020). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
