🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On March 8, 2013, a French driver observed a bright light in the sky coming from a round-shaped object moving northward and disappearing in a few seconds. The testimony is unique and brief, limiting the quality of the data. Possible explanations such as a hot-air balloon or a car headlight reflection on a power line are considered, but cannot be confirmed. The lack of additional witnesses and some inconsistencies in the details prevent a definitive identification.
The case is classified as C due to this uncertainty—not because of what the witness saw, but because of how she interpreted it. Surprise and the short duration of the observation may have influenced her perception. Although plausible hypotheses exist, there is not enough data to close the case with a conclusive explanation.
