A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 02 août 1984 à 2h 04 du matin, un témoin va apercevoir durant 3 secondes un objet de forme cylindrique. L'objet est fixe puis se met en mouvement. L'observation aux jumelles lui permet de voir une rampe de couleur jaune sur l'axe du cylindre et parallèle au sens du déplacement. Aucune autre information n'a pu être recueillie sur ce phénomène. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1984-08-01028). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
