🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On the night of July 16, 2013, a witness in Agen observed three white objects passing silently in a triangular formation. They left a faint halo and disappeared after 30 seconds. The sole testimony describes them as pill-shaped, circular, and about two-thirds the size of the moon. The sky was overcast, and although air traffic was heavy, it did not explain the phenomenon. Hypotheses considered included lasers, illuminated birds, and visual issues. However, none fully matched the description, leading the GEIPAN to classify the case as category C due to lack of clear evidence.
The GEIPAN carefully evaluated several possible explanations, but all had limitations. The witness ruled out lasers or birds, and while symptoms could align with a visual migraine, it could not be verified. The C classification reflects the ambiguity of the case, where the lack of multiple testimonies or recordings prevents a definitive conclusion. Despite the vague nature of the phenomenon, the observation remains intriguing and doesn't easily fit any conventional explanation.
