SAUSSET-LES-PINS (13) 12.09.2014

On 12 September 2014 at 19:50 in Sausset-les-Pins (13), a witness looking west in clear weather as the Sun set saw something like a “rocket,” nearly stationary at first, with an apparent V-shaped smoke plume. Only 1 account was collected. GEIPAN finds this strongly suggestive of an aircraft contrail seen against the light at sunset; the source summary identifies it as an aircraft trail. It refers readers to its news article “Des traînées d'avion étranges” (“Strange aircraft contrails”), published on 4 June 2013.
