DISCLOSURE / FILE

GEIPAN Case 2022-03-51336, DOUAI (59) 27.03.2022 (part 2)

GEIPAN witness questionnaire for case 2022-03-51336: a solo nighttime observation of a silent triangular craft with patterned underside lights crossing low over Douai on 27 March 2022 at 21:30 local time.

Brief

On Sunday 27 March 2022 at 21:30 local time, a witness in their garden in Douai (Nord, Hauts-de-France) reported watching an equilateral triangle with three distinct edges and roughly five yellow round lights arranged in a V along its forward perimeter pass overhead in a straight, fluid, fast southeast-to-northwest trajectory for 10 to 20 seconds. The witness described the underside as lit in a soft, non-dazzling orange-pink tone, an apparent size matching the palm of an outstretched hand (roughly 8 cm at arm's length), and no sound despite the absence of the usual aircraft noise overhead. They were alone, wore corrective lenses, ruled out aircraft, drones, satellites, meteors, Thai lanterns, and lasers, and the dogs they were walking did not react. The file is GEIPAN's standard témoin questionnaire (V3-14/juin 2019), and the case is classified D1 (unidentified after investigation).

Key points

Observation date and local time: Sunday 27 March 2022, 21:30 (heure d'été), in a residential garden in Douai, Nord, Hauts-de-France.p.2
Witness reports a silent triangular object with three clearly visible edges, observed for roughly 10 to 20 seconds before trees blocked the line of sight.p.2
Underside carried about five yellow round lights arranged in a V from the edges toward the forward point, with no lights at the rear of the triangle.p.2
Body of the triangle showed a soft, non-dazzling orange-pink (orange rosé pastel) glow against a clear, moonless, star-filled sky.p.4
No sound was heard, in contrast to the frequent aircraft noise the witness reports as habitual over the location.p.2
Trajectory was a straight, stable, fluid line from southeast to northwest, passing roughly 60° above the horizon over the witness's head.p.5
Apparent size at arm's length was an equilateral triangle about 8 cm per side, comparable to a triangle formed by joining thumbs and index fingers.p.5
Witness was alone, sober, wearing corrected myopia lenses, and the dogs present did not react; no other witnesses were located despite later internet searches.p.3
Witness explicitly ruled out aircraft, satellite, meteor, Thai lanterns, laser display, and drone, and considered either an unconventional military triangular aircraft or something unknown.p.9
Submission included the questionnaire and two environment photographs; no prior report had been filed with gendarmerie, police, press, or ufologists.

Verbatim

J'ai vu passer très distinctement au dessus des toits de la maison de mon voisin mitoyen puis de mon toit et ensuite au dessus des arbres du jardin un OVNI de forme triangulaire.
p.2
Il avait plusieurs lumières jaunes ( 5 ?) situées le long de son périmètre, en forme de V, des bords vers sa pointe avant mais pas à l'arrière du triangle.
p.2
Je n'ai pas entendu de bruits provenant de cet OVNI contrairement au bruit habituel des avions très fréquent au dessus de chez moi.
p.2
triangle éclairé par des petites lumières rondes jaunes et donc de couleur orange rosé pastel pas éblouissant
p.4
Ligne droite bien rectiligne stable au niveau de l'altitude déplacement fluide et rapide
p.6
Soit c'est un avion militaire triangulaire d'un genre non conventionnel soit c'est autre chose qui ne m'est pas connu.
p.9

Most interesting

Witness counted five yellow round lights arranged in a V pattern along the leading edges, with the trailing edge of the triangle dark.
Object was reported as silent in an environment where the witness explicitly notes aircraft noise is habitual and frequent overhead.
Dogs present in the garden during the observation did not react to the object.
Witness independently ruled out drones despite acknowledging familiarity with very large drones they had previously observed.
Apparent angular size at arm's length was about 8 cm per side, equivalent to a triangle formed by joining thumbs and index fingers.
The 180° southeast-to-northwest pass was completed in 10 to 20 seconds before line-of-sight was blocked by neighbor's dense fir trees.
