Shape-shifting white light over Coulaines in 1984

Summary

On the night of August 31, 1984, two witnesses in Coulaines saw a motionless white light positioned below the Moon. Over several minutes the light elongated into a rugby-ball shape, rose above the Moon, and split into two white lights connected by a compact mass. No sound or smoke was detected. The phenomenon vanished abruptly, leaving no trace. Classified as C by GEIPAN, the case lacks additional data to support any explanation.
