Bas-Rhin, France · 1990------ · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness reports that in 1990 or 1991, while walking in the street, he was blinded by an object passing in front of the sun. This object was made up of three intense lights that marked out an equilateral triangle. The object moved slowly and made no noise. It had a metallic appearance, was grey in color, and had geometric designs on it. It suddenly disappeared at an "incredible" speed. This late testimony (April 2008) and poorly documented one does not allow us to conduct a serious investigation that could validate or not certain hypotheses, particularly that of the passage of an aircraft.
