🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
In August 1997, a witness in Paris observed and photographed two unidentified objects in the sky. After contacting a scientific journal, an investigation was initiated by French authorities. Gendarmes visited the witness and examined the slides he had developed at a private lab. However, the results were inconclusive: the object described by the witness was not visible in the slides, and later a print revealed an artifact resembling a hollow pentagon. The witness, upon seeing this image, did not recognize the object he had observed, suggesting possible psychological influence or false memory. Despite the lack of clear evidence, the case was reclassified as "C" by the GEIPAN due to insufficient reliable information.
