This third part of GEIPAN case file 1989-09-01666 documents the site of an unexplained (classification D1) UAP observation reported at Bertre (81) on 4 September 1989 around 04:30. A man with insomnia saw through his open window a roughly 10-meter square of light in a nearby alfalfa field, traced to a stationary spinning-top-shaped object hovering above his roof. This part contains ten Polaroid photographs documenting the witness's house, the field, sightlines from the window, and the surrounding rural landscape in the Tarn department. The CNES UAP unit (then SEPRA/GEPAN) compiled the photographs alongside gendarmerie procès-verbaux for the case investigation.
