Luminous ball with discontinuous movement in Vouziers

Summary

In February 1997, a resident of Vouziers reported seeing a luminous ball while driving his van. The object moved discontinuously from west to east without emitting any sound. The testimony reached the gendarmerie after a local newspaper published an article about the event, but no other witnesses were found. Inconsistencies in the account, such as the date and exact position of the object, raised doubts. GEIPAN, after reviewing the case with modern tools, considered it might have been the Mir space station, though discrepancies prevented a definitive identification. Classified as C due to lack of reliable information.
