Morbihan, France · 2008-05-06 · from the GEIPAN archive
On May 8, 2009, GEIPAN received a terse email about an observation that occurred during the night of Monday May 5 to Tuesday May 6, 2008, between 3 and 4 in the morning. No other details were provided. The direct testimony contains too few details to allow a proper analysis. Jupiter was present to the southeast (azimuth 128 and elevation 3°48") and could be a source of confusion, especially since the witness does not mention it.
