Light over Ferrassieres, Rhône-Alpes · France
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Le 28 septembre 2011 vers 20h25 un automobiliste et sa passagère observent rapidement la présence plusieurs lumières dans le ciel. Ce cas d’observation d’étrangeté moyenne, et de consistance moyenne (témoignage précis, deux témoins non indépendants) ne permet de proposer que l’hypothèse de ballons lumineux, mais cette hypothèse n’a pu être étayée par d’autres informations complémentaires. (voir compte-rendu enquête). Le GEIPAN classe ce cas C faute de recoupements. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2011-09-02842). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
