Le Bugue (Dordogne) 2012

Summary

On November 5, 2012, two witnesses observed for one minute a red luminous object with two blinking white lights in a hexagonal shape. Although the phenomenon was unusual, the GEIPAN report considered factors such as the light signaling, noise similar to that of an airplane, and the trajectory aligned with two nearby airfields. These elements led to the conclusion that it was likely a private aircraft. The case was classified as "B," indicating a probable observation of an airplane near an airfield, shortly after takeoff or before landing.
