Summary

On March 24, 1984, five nuns in the Gers area watched a brightly glowing oval object for ten minutes as it moved rapidly from side to side and upward. When they stopped observing, it was still visible to the east. The case, formerly known as Saramon, was classified C by GEIPAN due to the absence of external confirmation.

Investigators considered the possibility of a skytracer or similar light-show device, as the time and conditions matched typical use, but found no records of clubs or events to support the theory. The witnesses' credibility was not questioned; the issue lay in interpreting what they saw, not in their perception. With low strangeness yet no way to verify, the case remains unresolved.
