Chateaugiron 1979, observation of a luminous point

Summary

On April 15, 1979, around 10:45 PM, several witnesses in Chateaugiron (France) observed a luminous point in the sky moving slowly. The object stopped momentarily, changed color, and flickered. The gendarmes called to the scene confirmed the presence of a luminous point the size of a star moving eastward. Although there is no precise information about its altitude or exact direction, researchers suggest it might have been an astronomical observation, possibly of the star Vega.

The case was classified as "B" by the GEIPAN, meaning a conventional explanation cannot be ruled out, but the consistency of the testimonies remains intriguing. Despite the lack of technical details, the case continues to be of interest to researchers of unidentified aerial phenomena.
