Oval over Seclin, Nord-Pas-de-Calais · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Dans la nuit du 17 au 18 juin 1998, une femme dans sa salle de bain aperçoit à travers son vélux trois lueurs blanches dans le ciel pendant une dizaine de minutes. Elle prend trois clichés. Les clichés sont inexploitables. Le phénomène ne peut être analysé. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1998-06-01502). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
