🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
A 12-year-old boy observed a mysterious object in 1998 near Châtel-Montagne. The testimony, collected in 2014, describes a gray cylindrical object with windows emitting white light. The object moved silently, skimming the trees before disappearing behind a hill. Although the children alerted the adults, no one else saw it. The case is classified as C due to lack of reliable information.
The description of the object and its behavior generated intrigue. Although a solar balloon was considered, the wind consistency could not be verified. The single testimony and date inaccuracies limited the investigation. Despite the intriguing nature of the sighting, no conventional explanation could be confirmed or ruled out. The case remains unresolved.
