Cigar-shaped UFO seen in France in 1978

Summary

On the night of September 15, 1978, a witness in the Doubs department (France) observed a luminous flying object crossing the sky from west to east while in his garden. The event occurred between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, and the object, at a high altitude, had a cigar-like shape illuminated by white lights. Interestingly, no noise was heard during the observation, adding an air of mystery to the experience. Despite the clear description provided by the witness, no other testimonies or additional data were collected about this phenomenon, which remains unexplained.

The GEIPAN classified this case as "C," indicating that a satisfactory explanation could not be found. Although isolated, such reports are valuable for researchers studying unidentified aerial phenomena. The fact that the object was silent and clearly illuminated makes it particularly intriguing. While no further details could be obtained, the testimony of a single witness can be enough to include a case in UFO research files.
