UFO seen by a child in France

Summary

In 2009, a 7-year-old boy in France observed a strange object in the sky. The GEIPAN was initially contacted about multiple lights, but the case was dismissed after it was determined to be Thai lanterns. A few days later, the father reported another incident involving his son. The child saw a white, box-like object that moved in an unusual way: it tilted to pass under an airplane, dropped suddenly, and stabilized near a high-voltage line. It then moved toward a TV antenna, accelerated vertically, and disappeared. The GEIPAN considered the testimony insufficient due to the child's age. No other witnesses confirmed the sighting, and concerns were raised about possible influence from the earlier report. As a result, the case was classified as "lack of reliable information."
