An account in Aisne, France

This observation case is one of the cases classified as "C" in 2008 by GEIPAN. It was the subject of a new investigation. (see the document: Investigation notes). On January 14, 1979 between 5:30 and 7:00, two witnesses observe, due East in the sky, a luminous phenomenon that intrigues them. A bright sphere larger than the stars moves without noise and at slow speed in the East-South direction. The main witness gives no details as to the height of the sphere in the sky. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. This case is consistent, but the description of the observed UAP is imprecise in the gendarmerie report. The sincerity and credibility of the witness have never been called into question. The described phenomenon presents many common characteristics (observation duration, shape, size, color) with a perfectly known astronomical object: Venus, well present in the observed area of the sky. In GEIPAN's current classification, this case of low strangeness is classified as UAP B, probable observation of the planet Venus, through a light layer of mist or by a halo effect.
