An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Vendée, France

On February 26, 2011 at 7:45 PM, a witness is intrigued by the presence in the sky of a very bright white object. This object moves along an E-W axis but while making upward and downward movements. The observation lasts three minutes before the object, on a downward trajectory, blends into the night. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. The observed phenomenon presents a certain degree of strangeness due to the complex movements of the observed point. The hypothesis of a helicopter or a military aircraft can be considered, but GEIPAN processed this case too late to be able to verify it. For lack of information and due to the uniqueness of this testimony, this case is classified "C".
