🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On December 2, 2011, a witness in Paris observed a luminous phenomenon that began as a bright point moving in a straight line. After a few seconds, the point flared and transformed into an orange oval object. This object spiraled, paused, and then zigzagged before disappearing behind a building. No noise, trails, or halos were reported. Although the initial part could resemble a satellite reflecting sunlight, the spiral movement is highly unusual and doesn't fit this explanation. Due to the lack of additional witnesses in a densely populated area, the GEIPAN classified the case as "C" due to insufficient consistency.
