🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On July 4, 2009, a witness in Hautmont observed a luminous phenomenon between 12:30 and 12:43 AM. While in a parking lot, they saw whiteish fireballs above a nearby building for 2 to 3 minutes. The sky was clear and the object moved silently from south to north, then stopped, changed direction, and finally disappeared toward the east. The witness recorded the event on their phone, but the footage was unusable. Two photos extracted from the video were also unhelpful. The GEIPAN received no other testimonies about this case and classified it as "C" due to lack of conclusive information.
