Oval over Louhans, Bourgogne · France

Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.

The report, as filed

Le 14 janvier 1997 vers 17 heures un témoin faisant son footing explique avoir rencontré un être ovoïde surmonté d'une tête triangulaire. Cet être aurait fui à son approche en laissant échapper un objet mou rougeâtre que le témoin a ramassé et qui aurait durçi dans sa poche. Le témoin a présenté ensuite cette pierre comme étant un "fœtus d'extra terrestre" L'enquête montrera rapidement qu'il s'agit d'une affabulation. [GEIPAN classification A — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]

Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1997-01-01443). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
