Cylinder over Landser, Alsace · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 9 juillet 1987 vers 23h55 un témoin observe depuis sa fenètre un objet de forme allongé semblable à un cigare. De cette observation qui n'a duré que quelques secondes il ressort que cet objet avait une couleur rouge cuivré, qu'il se déplaçait très vite sans laisser de trace. Aucune autre observation de ce phénomène ne sera rapportée. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1987-07-01106). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
