The following is a brief summary of the case. The case is from the files of the official French government UFO research program GEIPAN (Group for the Study and Information of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomenon), which is a part of CNES, the French government space agency.
The case has been classified as a ‘Class D’ case, which are the unexplained cases in the GEIPAN files. Here is the summary that has been translated using automatic computer translation, so it is not a perfect translation.
On January 12, 1989, a woman at the wheel of her car observed at approximately 30 meters from the top of the marshes an “enormous” cylindrical form comprising at the top a cupola emitting a yellow light and a series of red luminescent port-holes and white at its base.
With its passage, the object disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later much higher in the sky. The observation lasted a total of only a few seconds. The investigations did not make it possible to collect other information or to identify the phenomenon. End of report.
