🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On October 9, 2012, a witness in Mazères (Gironde) observed two bright yellowish points in the sky from their garden. Initially stationary, the lights then moved quickly toward the southwest. The event lasted three minutes and no noise was heard. Although military authorities confirmed the sighting coincided with exercises in the area, they did not specify the type of aircraft involved. The GEIPAN classified the case as category B, indicating a very likely observation of aircraft during military maneuvers, but without conclusive evidence.
