Faget-Abbatial (32) 17.07.1978

Summary

On July 17, 1978, several witnesses at a farm in France observed a green fluorescent disk hovering in the sky. The object remained motionless for a few seconds before vanishing suddenly. Although the testimony was reported decades later, in 2016, researchers considered it a possible meteorite with unusual characteristics. The lack of a visible trail and the initial stillness of the object raised questions. No other similar sightings were recorded in the area, adding to the mystery of the event.

The GEIPAN classified this case as "C" due to the lack of information and corroboration. While it partially matches the characteristics of a fireball, the absence of additional data prevents a more precise evaluation. This brief yet unusual case remains intriguing and cannot be easily dismissed as a conventional phenomenon.
