Case description

On 29 November 2024 between 20:30 and 21:00, a witness and a female friend at home saw 2 luminous rectangular shapes aligned with a gap between them. As the witness moved to obtain a fully unobstructed view, the phenomenon suddenly went out. The sighting lasted about 10 seconds under a completely clear sky, in total silence, at an estimated relatively low altitude. On 3 December 2024 at 19:38, the witness alone saw a similar event from the same place and photographed it with a smartphone. The case has moderate strangeness and evidential support, with marked residual strangeness reinforced by the witness's link between the 2 events. Questions remain both from expert analysis of the 3 December photograph, confirmed as an authentic original by GEIPAN's image-authentication system, and from the first sighting's technical-questionnaire statements, which GEIPAN's remote and field investigations validated. GEIPAN classifies the case C: phenomenon unidentified because of insufficient objectively supported information. In GEIPAN's criteria, evidential consistency means the amount of information in an account considered reliable and objectively supported.
