ANGERS (49) 30.10.1996

On 20 October 2010, GEIPAN received an account of a sighting in Angers (49) late in October 1996 at about 21:00. The exact date is unknown; 30 October was assigned arbitrarily. The witness, then 11, was with his mother and younger brother when he noticed 3 stationary lights above trees in a square. He described a triangle with a black central circle that moved and disappeared with a sudden, extreme acceleration. No sound was heard during the 20-second sighting. His mother, the second reporting witness, remembered an unusual light and an unidentified moving craft in autumn 1996 at about 20:00. No other account was collected. Because the date is incomplete and the recollection old, GEIPAN could neither investigate adequately nor reach a conclusion. It classifies the case C: insufficient information.
