A triangle shape in Ardèche, France
On April 8, 2011, at around 11:30 PM, a witness in a car observed a bright light in the sky. He stopped and opened his window and then noticed a huge craft fitted with blinding white lights, stationary about 50 meters above a house. No noise was heard. The lights went out, the craft turned on itself to leave: the witness could then see that the craft had a triangular shape. Due to the strangeness of the case, GEIPAN wanted to conduct a field investigation, but this was only requested in 2014. Since the witness lives relatively far from the observation site and remains largely unavailable, this interview could not be arranged. The delay of more than 3 years since the observation also seemed too long to the witness. Of high strangeness, the consistency of this observation case is too weak as it stands to allow a classification of D unexplained: a single, very brief testimony with many inaccuracies, written one year after the facts. In the absence of additional data, GEIPAN classifies this case as C.
