Calvados, France · 2011-11-27 · from the GEIPAN archive
On November 27, 2011 at 6:50 PM, a female driver and her children were intrigued by the presence of a stationary luminous phenomenon above the church of the village of Saint-Gatien-des-Bois (Calvados in the Lower Normandy region). A fifth witness would also provide their testimony later. The 4 witnesses from the same family observed and describe the same UAP and the testimonies agree. Their testimony is reinforced by a fifth witness, a young 10-year-old boy who also observed the UAP, which makes this case a very consistent one. The reality of the phenomenon is beyond doubt. It is noted, however, that the observation was short for T1 to T4 (around 2 minutes), or even very short for T5 (a few seconds). The strangeness of the case is harder to qualify: indeed, the materiality of the phenomenon is not confirmed: the first statements from the witnesses describe an object carrying headlights, but on reflection, the witnesses are no longer certain of having really seen the object, but only the headlights. Now, if this phenomenon is only luminous, it is not very strange; if it is material, it truly becomes so. As unexplained despite an in-depth investigation, GEIPAN classifies this case as D. As a consistent but moderately strange case, because probably not material, this case is classified as D1.
