Aveyron, France · 2008-04-18 · from the GEIPAN archive
In the night of April 17 to 18, 2008 at 12:43 AM, a resident of RODEZ (12) observes from his home two lights above the city in the SSE direction. He looks at them through a telescope and notes that the lights "vibrate." He then takes 5 photographs by hand: the first three spaced 15 to 20 seconds apart and the other two after about 7 minutes. Only one testimony is collected. Several hypotheses are studied: aeronautical, astronomical, or festive (see the investigation notes). Of low strangeness and low consistency (single witness, unusable photos), this case presents several characteristics that could suggest several explanatory hypotheses. Unfortunately, the long delay between the observation and its processing, the inaccuracies of the testimony, and the absence of a response from the witness to the GEIPAN's requests prevent any formal identification of the UAP. This case is classified as C, due to lack of precision.
