ARGILLY (21) 03.06.1979

Around 23:30 on 3 June 1979, a woman driving near Argilly (21) saw an orange luminous ball in her rear-view mirror that seemed to follow her into a settlement. Frightened, she sounded the horn to alert residents. Someone came outside but refused to look at it. She resumed driving and saw it all the way home. She reported physical sensations and the dashboard lights going out. The phenomenon was silent and appeared low to the north-northwest. She passed no other vehicles, and no additional accounts were collected. Despite limited information, the sky chart showed conspicuous Jupiter at magnitude −1.47, Pollux at magnitude 0.98, and Capella. GEIPAN considered an astronomical sighting probable but unconfirmed. It suggested that severe fright probably explained her behaviour and reported physical sensations. The supplied narrative gives no letter classification.
