These are observations of the third type that science has decoded

“I thought Giban was only in the series “Ovni(s)” on the channel…” Oh no. The body of studies and information about unidentified aerospace phenomena is not fiction. It exists and was created in 1977 within the National Center for Space Studies (CNES) to identify, study and explain observations made by individuals in the field. He constantly reminds us that the mission of this very serious organization is not to study UFOs or extraterrestrial life, but to consider every case reported by the right end of science. Therefore, for observations and geolocations carried out throughout France, the term “unidentified aerospace phenomena” (PAN) is preferable to any other term. On the Jiban websiteExciting survey database. Some stories, such as that of “Cylindre de Royan”, from 1985 in Saint-Sulpice-de-Royan, in Charente-Maritime, are simply succulent. What about Haute Gironde?

1 The red lights of Saint-Savin

The issue is not that old. During a storm, on May 4, 2020, at 10:15 p.m., a forty-year-old man noticed a phenomenon in the northwest, “a bright red round shape that disappears with a gradual decrease in light intensity.” The event only lasts 30 seconds. Rebelote A few minutes later, the appearance is followed by two more identical points of light, but they are far apart from each other. Then the constant features disappear, “such as slow extinction.” The certificate, related to two pockets, Submitted to the Lightning Research Laboratory Which unambiguously recognizes the phenomenon of ball lightning, the category “ball lightning”. At the time of observation, the Saint-Savin area was subject to a storm with numerous lightning strikes, with “intense activity within and between clouds.” The colorimetry of the photograph provided by the witness also goes in this direction.

2 Mysteries in Saint-Andre-de-Kobzac

Many observations were made at Saint-André-de-Kobzac. The first goes back to Jiban's origins. One subject testifies via letter that on July 20, 1977, around 1 a.m. in her car, she and her daughter were able to observe a “saucer-shaped” vehicle. “The vehicle was surrounded by a slightly yellow halo, and was moving slowly in the sky, turning around, and seemed to be descending towards the vehicle. But it regained altitude and disappeared towards Bordeaux.” Unsolved mystery.

More recently, on the night of February 4 to 5, 2000, around 2 a.m., a witness driving a car also observed “a luminous phenomenon moving slowly to a stop above a tree,” for a few seconds, in silence, “at approximately some distance away.” 200 meters and 150 meters above sea level. » As in the previous case, and in the absence of other testimonies or additional elements, the phenomenon was classified as Category “C.”

3 “The Flying Saucer” by Atelier

The phenomenon was rated D, with a mention of “strange to very strange.” On January 13, 1980, at approximately 7:10 a.m., a motorist coming from Charente-Maritime saw a “saucer-shaped boat.” “The stationary object is approximately five to six meters in diameter, with lights flashing at both ends,” Jiban newspaper said in its notice, citing the witness. Stepping out of his car out of curiosity, the forty-year-old customs employee noticed the machine moving slowly at a speed of about 30 or 40 kilometers per hour. »

The witness says the surveillance lasted an unusually long time, about 5 minutes. The latter was also surprised, during this period, to hear “no noise coming from this supposed machine.” The official, who was short of time, continued his journey. He did not make a statement until after his arrival in Haute-Jaronne. “No other witnesses will announce themselves in the surveillance sector and no further information will be collected about this still unexplained phenomenon,” Jiban adds. The story is indexed as “moderately consistent.” The D1 category, which corresponds to only 0.99% of cases, defines the location.

Geipan categorizes different files into different categories. A for phenomena that are quite specific (24.56% of cases) and B for those whose origin is likely to be (very) specific (39.71%). C (32.4%) indicates an unidentified phenomenon due to lack of sufficient data (32.43%). Only 3.29% of cases are classified as D, and are not identified after investigation.
