An account in Pas-de-Calais, France

Recent testimony (08/09/2013) of an old observation with no certain date given by the witness. The date of June 25 is given arbitrarily (taking into account a few indications from the witness). Late June 1982, several people gather in the evening to watch in the starry sky the passage of a manned flight. Around 3 a.m., they are astonished to observe the passage of two other unknown luminous objects. Only one testimony was collected. The first French manned flight mission took place from June 25 to July 2, 1982. The observation could have taken place on June 25 or 26. The scenario described by the witness could be due to the coincidence between the apparent trails of other satellites at different altitudes. The arrival of the 3rd object could simply be its exit from the Earth's shadow, which allows it to be suddenly illuminated by the sun. The orbital data of the multiple satellites in orbit at that time are not available. GEIPAN has no way to verify this hypothesis. This case is classified C due to lack of information.
