Bourgesaint-Maurice-Chambery 1997 UFO

Summary

On the night of September 23 to 24, 1997, two independent witnesses in the Savoie region of France observed a very bright light with an oval shape and a trail. The phenomenon was brief, lasting only a few seconds, and no noise was detected. Although the object was not conclusively identified, investigators concluded it was likely a meteoroid or space debris entering the Earth's atmosphere. This case was classified as "A" by the GEIPAN, indicating that the anomalous hypothesis was not ruled out, but a natural explanation was considered more plausible.
