Unspecified over Marines, Autre · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Des témoins vont observer dans la nuit du 13 au 14 avril 1988 un objet de forme circulaire, gros comme une étoile et très brillant. Cet objet se dilate pour revenir aussitôt à sa taille initiale. Il disparaîtra progressivement à l'horizon. Aucune autre information n'est disponible pour expliquer ce phénomène. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1988-04-01133). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
