Case description

During a Rome–Paris flight on 7 December 1978, in the case labelled Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, a passenger saw an elongated bright object moving right to left below the aircraft. Questioned on arrival, the pilot recalled seeing an aircraft shining in the setting Sun at the time reported, likewise moving right to left and leaving a faint contrail. GEIPAN considers that the passenger probably saw that aircraft.
