SAINT-JEAN-DE-LIVERSAY (17) 12.04.2012

On 12 April 2012 around 21:40, a witness looking through a first-floor window in Saint-Jean-de-Liversay noticed a fairly strong red glow appear suddenly. It remained apparently stationary for several minutes, then changed colour and intensity, turning white as it weakened and disappeared. The summary describes the disappearance as sudden. No other accounts were obtained. GEIPAN rates both strangeness and evidential strength as low to moderate. A bright red-orange point turning white as it fades suggests an aircraft seen head-on, but without air traffic records this cannot be established. The source refers to the investigation report. In the absence of further objective evidence, the case is classified C.
