Summary

A sparse case. In June 1982, a group gathered to watch a French space flight spotted two unknown luminous objects at around 3 a.m. over Vieille-Chapelle. Only one testimony was collected and the exact date remains unclear. GEIPAN classified it C due to insufficient information. Satellites in different orbits or an object emerging from Earth's shadow are the most likely explanations.
