Probable conventional

Sphere over Brest, Bretagne · France

A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.

The report, as filed

Le 13 septembre 2006 à 10h du matin un témoin observe avec d'autres personnes durant 3 à 4 minutes un phénomène lumineux stationnaire au-dessus du pont de l'Iroise. Ce phénomène est circulaire. Il disparaitra selon une trajectoire ascendante dans le ciel. Le témoignage rapporté reste très succinct. Compte tenu de la réponse de la région maritime il y a une forte probabilité pour que le témoin ait vu un petit avion (un avion monomoteur blanc civil se trouvait effectivement dans cette zone à l'heure indiquée). [GEIPAN classification B — Avion de tourisme]

Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2006-09-01818). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

France's official UAP office publishes its case base proactively — check its open catalog before filing. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
