Doubs, France · 1998-01-17 · from the GEIPAN archive
On January 17, 1998, three passengers in the same car observed "a shiny carcass" 20 to 25 meters in diameter with black stripes and several bright points or yellow and red lights. This observation was reported in a newspaper article, but the witnesses could not be identified and interviewed. Following the first article, a fourth witness came forward to report a similar phenomenon on January 21, 1998, at around 6:30 PM. While in her car, she observed for about twenty seconds a luminous disk twice the size of the Moon. These various brief and somewhat contradictory testimonies do not allow for a serious analysis of the observed phenomena.
