Sphere over Pervencheres, Basse Normandie · France

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

The report, as filed

Le 29 mars 2008 aux alentours de 21h 30 plusieurs témoins observent durant 3 secondes un phénomène lumineux dans le ciel. Une boule très lumineuse de couleur jaune se déplace à grande vitesse du Sud-Ouest au Nord-Est. Les témoins remarquent une trajectoire non rectiligne et une absence de bruit. Le phénomène lumineux disparaît brusquement. D'aprés la description du phénomène, ces personnes ont été témoins d'une probable rentrée atmosphérique . [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]

Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2008-03-01820). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

What would the paper say?

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.
