🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
Between 3:50 and 4:20 a.m. on the night of 15–16 August 2004, a man observed from his balcony in Tourcoing two appearances of bright golden phenomena moving at high speed. The first time they formed a triangle; the second, a straight line following the same trajectory. The sky was clear and the witness could not identify the objects. The proximity to Lille-Lesquin airport adds interest, though no further details were recorded. GEIPAN classified the case as C, with no conventional explanation found.
