🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
A UFO case recorded in 1988 in the French region of Jura was recently reviewed by the GEIPAN, the unit for analyzing unidentified aerial phenomena in the country. Two military trainees, during a night bivouac in the Risoux forest, observed an object with intermittent flashes moving at high speed and without noise. The main witness, T1, described a sinuous trajectory and an intense light that didn't seem to match an airplane. However, after a detailed analysis, investigators concluded that the phenomenon could be explained as a confusing observation of an airplane with anti-collision lights. The lack of reference points, the darkness of the environment, and the viewing perspective all contributed to the perception of unusual movements. Although the case was initially classified as D (unidentified), it is now considered as B (explainable by an airplane).
