Paris, France · 2014-01-09 · from the GEIPAN archive
On January 9, 2014 at 9:35 a.m., a witness, driving his car, spotted for 3/4 of a second a brilliant bright white object in the sky, between the clouds. The witness, on the A6 highway, heading from the provinces toward Paris, was therefore looking due north. The Casperflights record of commercial flights indicates in that direction at 9:37 a.m. flight AF620 JL (Airbus A321) climbing between 2500 and 3000 meters after its takeoff from Roissy. This aircraft had the ideal orientation for its fuselage to reflect the rising sun toward the observer. The wings, on a horizontal plane, do not reflect the sun, and are therefore barely visible. GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of the sun's reflection on an aircraft.
