An orange orb in Drôme, France
On February 7, 2008 at around 7:10 PM, a witness observes in the sky what he describes as a spacecraft with a red and white light. At the same time, a huge fireball falls to the right of this first UAP, on a downward trajectory. The observation lasts about 12 seconds in total. No other testimony is collected.
Of average strangeness but low consistency (single witness, brief testimony, contradictions, short observation), this case proves too incomplete to be identified. The observation consists of a probable meteor fireball sighting simultaneous with a possible aircraft sighting. The latter unfortunately cannot be verified, due to too long a delay in transmission to GEIPAN.
This case is classified C, due to lack of data.
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 classif…
