A dark figure in Seine-Maritime, France
Two people observe, from their home and on several dates, luminous phenomena in the sky and the movement of a dark mass and a luminous beam lighting up the ground.
No other testimony concerning these phenomena for the stated dates has been collected.
Part of the luminous phenomena can be explained by the passage of airplanes and satellites, and above all by the observation of the star Arcturus, which on those days was affected by strong twinkling; this case could be classified as fully explained (Class A).
On the other hand, the white light that lit up the ground with a beam, as well as the dark "object" and the white and mauve light directed toward the witness, remain for now unexplained, with too few concrete elements to continue the investigation.
