FONTAINE-LES-DIJON (21) 26.03.2013

On 26 March 2013 at 00:10, a motorist in Fontaine-lès-Dijon was intrigued by an orange point of light flanked by white points, moving rapidly from east to west. GEIPAN considers the case to have low unusualness and low evidential strength: 2 witnesses were present, but only one account was collected, and the photographs were unusable. A radar reconstruction requested by GEIPAN identified an aircraft whose route and timing matched the sighting. However, the account lacks precision and, in GEIPAN's assessment, gives too much weight to personal interpretation. The source emphasizes that it is not questioning the witness's visual perception, but his interpretation through surprise, fatigue and the circumstances of driving at night. The case is classified B: probable misidentification of an aircraft.
