Loiret, France · 1982-02-09 · from the GEIPAN archive
On February 9, 1982, several witnesses observed a luminous phenomenon around 6:40 a.m. Ovoid in shape, it gave off a red-orange light. During the 47 minutes of observation, this object moved back and forth from top to bottom. One of the witnesses stated that he had already observed this phenomenon during the months of January and February at the same time. The witnesses' description and the repetition of the observation over several days at the same time suggest an astronomical observation, though it is not possible to confirm this hypothesis due to a lack of evidence.
