A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 18 février 2008 à 16h21, un témoin observe dans le ciel deux objets ronds et blancs au-dessus d'un massif montagneux. Le témoin prend une photographie. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera recueilli sur ce phénomène (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Faiblement étrange et de consistance insuffisante, aucune conclusion ne peut être donnée pour ce cas. Ce cas est classé C faute d’informations et de recoupements. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2008-02-02279). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
