Circular object with luminous rays over Vitry-le-François

Summary

In September 1983, several witnesses in Vitry-le-François observed a circular object in the sky, roughly 50 centimeters in apparent diameter, emitting yellowish light and rays of varying lengths. One witness, using a telescope, described a dark core surrounded by a luminous ring. An astronomical phenomenon was considered but could not be confirmed due to insufficient data. GEIPAN classified the case as C for lack of additional information.
