Mysterious glowing object seen in Mornant

Summary

On the night of October 28, 2013, a witness in the Rhône region of France observed an unusual aerial phenomenon. While driving along the D342, they noticed a red light in the sky. Later, near Mornant on the D63, they saw an orange, spherical object with a tail that quickly passed through their field of vision. Although other people were in the area, no additional testimonies were collected. The case was classified as C due to the lack of concrete data and the isolated nature of the report.

The GEIPAN, responsible for investigating unidentified aerial phenomena, considers the testimony insufficiently precise for formal identification. The witness's visual perception is not in question, but rather their interpretation, influenced by factors such as stress, fatigue, and night driving. While intriguing, this case lacks enough information to be resolved conclusively.
