An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Ille-et-Vilaine, France

On November 11, 2014, at around 6 a.m., a witness, from his camper van by the sea, observes a round, luminous white shape moving first slowly, then accelerating and making zig zags while following the coast. The observation lasts 20 minutes. The phenomenon disappears at the horizon. Only one testimony is collected. After analysis of various hypotheses (see the investigation report), namely: - a boat moving in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. - a helicopter flying at low altitude along the coast of Granville. - an airplane approaching Granville airport, landing lights on. - an airplane flying over the same area, lights also on. the favored hypothesis is that of the helicopter (civil security or coast guard) equipped with a searchlight. GEIPAN therefore classifies this case as "B": probable observation of a helicopter (civil security or coast guard) equipped with a searchlight flying over along the coast of Granville.
