UFO seen in Aube in 2017

Summary

On January 28, 2017, between 5:07 and 5:10 AM, a driver in Aube, France, reported a luminous phenomenon while driving at 110 km/h. He observed four aligned white lights and two blinking lights of different colors through the windshield and recorded the event with his phone. Although the witness described a mild sense of strangeness, the account was very limited. The video does not show a clear unidentified object, but suggests the phenomenon was in front of him, along his route. The GEIPAN considered it could be the star Capella, and the light effect might be due to reflections on the windshield. However, the lack of precise information, such as the angular width of the lights or the nature of the movement, hinders further analysis.

The report concludes that the case was classified as "C"—not strange and unexploitable due to insufficient data. The witness's description is too vague to rule out conventional explanations, such as reflections of starlight or aircraft. The GEIPAN highlights that without more details, it is impossible to determine if this was an unusual phenomenon or simply a misleading perception. This case illustrates how a lack of precise information can limit the investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena.
