Unspecified over Epernay, Champagne-Ardenne · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 10 février 1996 vers 20 heures un témoin, son épouse et son fils observent un point très brillant dans le ciel dont le diamètre est nettement supérieur à une étoile. Un second point est également observé. Le témoin a filmé son observation mais les informations sont trop minces pour analyser ce phénomène. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1996-02-01658). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
