An account in Vend�e, France

GEIPAN continues to publish all of its archives on its public website www.geipan.fr. Among its publications are old cases classified at the time as type "C" cases, which are now being re-examined, with the sole aim of being more relevant in the conclusions. Thanks to new technical means (software) and the investigation experience acquired over all these recent years, this re-examination sometimes leads to new remarks or even a change of classification explained in an investigation note. This observation case is one of the cases classified as "C" in 1993 by SEPRA. During the night of March 1 to 2, 1993, between 1:15 a.m. and 1:20 a.m., a witness observed from his bedroom a luminous phenomenon that he described as being of large dimensions and resembling "two teardrops placed upside down." This case is consistent (a single witness, but whose testimony is very well detailed), the description of the observed UAP is very precise. The described phenomenon presents many common characteristics (observation duration, shape, size, color) with a perfectly known astronomical object: the Moon, whose light was filtering through a cloud cover that partially hid it, giving it strange and variable shapes. Moreover, the Moon was indeed present in the area of the sky observed, while the witness does not mention it. In GEIPAN's current classification, this case of low strangeness is classified as UAP A, observation of the Moon through light clouds.
