An account in Grand Est, France

On October 13 at around 8 p.m., two witnesses in Troyes and Reims observed the passage of an object of elongated shape. Colored lights were also seen. One of the two witnesses made a similar observation on October 18 between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. No abnormal phenomenon was detected at the satellite detection center of the Aube. The technical service of the Barberey-Saint-Sulpice aerodrome informed the gendarmerie that no unusual observation had been reported for those days. No other testimony was collected. These witnesses probably observed the passage of an aircraft.
