Bright object recorded through telescope in Montataire, 1998

Summary

A detail-sparse case. On January 6, 1998, an amateur astronomer in Montataire (Oise) observed a bright, apparently moving object in the sky and managed to record it through his telescope. No information on shape, size, or trajectory is available. The instrumental recording lends some credibility, but GEIPAN classified the case as category C — an observation with no clear explanation. The phenomenon remains unresolved.
