GEIPAN Case 2014-06-50078, ETRELLES (35) 01.06.2014 (part 1)

GEIPAN case file 2014-06-50078 (classification D1) on a 1 June 2014 nocturnal sighting at Étrelles (Ille-et-Vilaine, France) of a dark mass with two faint lights that vanished at high speed, ruled an unexplained phenomenon.

Brief

The document is a single extractable page from GEIPAN, the French national space agency CNES's UAP investigations unit, attached to case 2014-06-50078 from Étrelles (35). The witnesses, in a service vehicle, reported a dark mass bearing two small, weakly illuminating lights that abruptly accelerated to a high speed and disappeared. GEIPAN classified the case as D1, its category for unexplained strange phenomena, after a field investigation confirmed the witness reports and several hypotheses were considered. The extractable page itself is a meteor-observation log from the Base de donnée des Observateurs Amateurs de Météores (BOAM) recording two sporadic camera detections at 21:12:30 UT on 01/06/2014.

Case is logged as GEIPAN 2014-06-50078, classification D1 (unexplained), location ETRELLES (35), date 01.06.2014.p.1
Witnesses, traveling in a service vehicle, observed a dark mass in the night sky carrying two small, weakly illuminating lights.p.1
The mass abruptly shifted to a vertiginous speed and disappeared.p.1
A field investigation confirmed the witness observation reports and several hypotheses were considered.p.1
The single page with extractable text is a BOAM (amateur meteor observers) database export listing two sporadic (SPO) camera detections at 21:12:30 UT on 01/06/2014, durations 0.620 s and 1.120 s.p.1
Cameras GRA1c and LITIK1 logged angular speeds of 20.17°/s and 12.66°/s respectively, with magnitudes -1.1 and 0.1.p.1

Most interesting

GEIPAN's classification ladder runs A (identified) through D (unidentified); D1 is the unexplained-strange bucket reserved for cases where investigators rule out conventional explanations but the report quality stops short of D2.
The two BOAM detections at 21:12:30 UT on the same evening as the Étrelles sighting are the kind of cross-reference GEIPAN uses to test meteor or reentry hypotheses against witness accounts.
Cameras GRA1c and LITIK1 logged the same timestamp from different azimuths (109° versus 271°), consistent with two separate stations tracking a common sporadic meteor, not the Étrelles object itself.
The witnesses were on the road in a service vehicle, a detail GEIPAN typically uses to corroborate two-witness geometry.
