Sphere over Saussay, Centre · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 17 mars 1986 à environ 4h du matin, un témoin affirme avoir vu un phénomène lumineux. Il s'agissait d'une sphère qui projetait une lumière. Cette sphère se déplaçait lentement éclairant une surface de 1000 mètres carrés. L'observation a duré 20 secondes environ. Aucune autre information ne sera recueillie sur ce phénomène vu l'heure très matinale. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1986-03-01090). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
