Landes, France · 1994-11-10 · from the GEIPAN archive
A person testifies in 2010 about an observation made when he was a child on November 10, 1994, after 8 p.m. A rear passenger in a vehicle traveling on a country road, he observes toward the East and through the treetops of a forest, the passage of an intense green light followed by a luminous point located right next to it. This object suddenly changes trajectory after a significant acceleration and disappears toward the North. No particular noise is heard during the observation. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. The observation first suggests a fireball-type phenomenon (reentry of space debris or meteoroid); the green color and speed are consistent. Then, the change of direction is quite surprising: one can imagine a second fireball or shooting star starting fortuitously at the end of the previous phenomenon. Given the type of phenomenon and the age of the case, a retrospective investigation would not bring any new element. Since GEIPAN has no factual element to confirm this risky hypothesis, this case is classified "C": Unidentifiable phenomenon: GEIPAN does not have enough elements to give a solid opinion.
