Grey oval mass at Saint-Sylvain-d'Anjou without conclusive explanation

Summary

In April 1995, three witnesses in Saint-Sylvain-d'Anjou (Maine-et-Loire) described a silent grey oval mass that quickly disappeared toward the northeast. The gendarmerie investigated but found nothing at the site. Re-examining the case, GEIPAN proposed a discotheque projector — common in the 1980s and 1990s — as a hypothesis, but a red dot observed by the witnesses did not match typical accounts of such phenomena.

Key data such as sketches or angular measurements are missing, preventing a precise assessment. Although the projector hypothesis is reasonable, the anomalous red dot leaves the case without a firm resolution. Classified C due to insufficient information.
