L'ensemble du phénomène a duré 3 secondes environ. Curieusement leurs enfants n'ont pas été réveillés et leur voisin n'a rien entendu. Aucune autre information. Cas classé C. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2002-09-01591). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
