Var, France · 2009-06-26 · from the GEIPAN archive
On June 26, 2009, at around 11:30 PM, two witnesses observed from their home the passage of a very bright phenomenon that intrigued them. The witness sent us a photograph taken from a film that was shot during the observation. The description of the trajectory rising from the ground and without noise, the duration of the observation, and the brightness indicate a 'real' observation that would have deserved to be enriched by other elements. Unfortunately, no additional information came in despite several follow-ups, making any investigation impossible.
