DISCLOSURE / FILE

GEIPAN Case 2014-01-08689, THEY-SOUS-MONTFORT (88) 28.01.2014 (part 2)

GEIPAN witness questionnaire for case 2014-01-08689: a 28 January 2014 night sighting at They-sous-Montfort (Vosges) of a low-altitude red luminous object with a small blue tail, classified D1 (unidentified strange).

Brief

The witness, walking a dog around 22:15 in an orchard facing their house, watched a bright red light, first a halo, then a laser-like point, then a ball slightly larger than a tennis ball, descend along the village street at very low altitude. The object stopped roughly five meters up in the axis of the witness's living-room window for about 30 seconds, then made a U-turn over the road, paused two seconds, emitted a faint click and a backfire-like noise, accelerated diagonally to the left, and vanished into the sky. The observation lasted two to three minutes with no other witnesses contacted, under a cloudy night sky with no visible stars or moon. The questionnaire is accompanied by four sketches and four environmental photographs annotated by the witness.

Trajectory included a straight line, stop, half-turn with slight deviation, a 2-second pause, a faint click and backfire-like noise, then sharp acceleration diagonally left and disappearance.p.5
Apparition recorded at 30 degrees above the horizon, disappearance at 60 degrees; direction of travel north-south then south-north on return.p.5

Verbatim

une lumière rouge très lumineuse, Comme un phare de voiture est apparu au bout de la rue légèrement en hauteur aussi, puis un point rouge ressemblant à 1 faisceau laser a commencé à descendre le long de la route
p.1
elle est restée en immobilisation complète pendant environ 30 Sec puis fait demi-tour dans la même direction où elle est arrivée
p.1
il y a un léger clic, un bruit de déraillement, suivi d'1 forte accélération, une virée en diagonale sur la gauche, puis disparition dans le ciel
p.1
boule rouge avec une espèce de queue ovale à l'arrière
p.4
un peu plus gros qu'une balle de tennis
p.4
Je ne peux pas l'interpréter car ça me paraît tellement insensé de voir une boule se déplacer, stagner, faire un bruit de déraillement, puis disparaître à 1 vitesse phénoménale dans le ciel que ça me paraît irréel
p.7
je n'en ai pas trop parlé, de peur de me faire passer pour une illuminée
p.7

Most interesting

The witness wrote the observation date as 28/10/14 on the questionnaire even though the GEIPAN case name fixes it as 28.01.2014, a discrepancy preserved in the form.
The object reportedly hovered roughly 5 meters off the ground directly in the axis of the witness's living-room window for about 30 seconds before reversing course.
The only sound reported across the entire 2 to 3 minute observation was a faint click followed by a backfire-like noise immediately before the object's sharp acceleration and disappearance.
The witness described the pre-apparition phase as a red halo resembling a car headlight, then a red point resembling a laser beam, before resolving into a ball with an oval tail.
No other human witnesses are listed as having seen the event, and the witness explicitly noted reluctance to discuss it for fear of being thought 'illuminée.'
