The case concerns observations of an elongated, very bright object moving rapidly and silently from right to left and from top to bottom in a cloudy sky.
Claim #4391 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“Observations of the movements of an elongated, very bright object moving rapidly and silently from right to left and from top to bottom in the cloudy sky: lack of information.”

// [[T0001]] Summary
On 24 March 1984, beginning at 5:50 a.m., five nuns from a convent observed a UAP in the morning sky for 10 minutes.
Claim #4392 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“On Saturday, March 24, 1984, starting at 5:50 a.m., five nuns from a convent followed the movements of a UAP in the morning sky for 10 minutes.”

// [[T0001]] Description
The source describes the object as oval-shaped and shining in the night, with very rapid movements from left to right and from bottom to top.
Claim #4393 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“This oval-shaped object shone in the night, making very rapid movements from left to right and from bottom to top.”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0001]] Description
The witnesses stopped observing while the UAP remained visible toward the east.
Claim #4394 // FACTUAL CLAIM // SOURCED // 97% extraction confidence
“The witnesses stopped observing it in order to resume their activities, leaving the UAP still visible in the direction of the East.”

// [[T0001]] Description
GEIPAN classifies the case as C.
Claim #4395 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“Classification
C”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0001]] Case details
GEIPAN describes the phenomenon as a lack-of-reliable-information case.
Claim #4396 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“Type of phenomenon
Lack of reliable information”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0001]] Case details
GEIPAN states that the case is supported by five witnesses and that the description is fairly precise.
Claim #4397 // ATTRIBUTED CLAIM // SOURCED // 97% extraction confidence
“This case is well-supported (five witnesses), and the description of the observed UAP is fairly precise.”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0002]] Reexamination and assessment
GEIPAN assesses that the phenomenon has characteristics in common with a skytracer-type light display and that the observation resembles a skytracer misidentification.
Claim #4398 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 96% extraction confidence
“The phenomenon described presents many characteristics in common (observation duration, shape, size, color) with a skytracer-type light display.”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0002]] Reexamination and assessment
GEIPAN states that the skytracer hypothesis could not be verified because the observation was unique and contemporary discotheques could not be checked.
Claim #4399 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 98% extraction confidence
“However, because the observation was unique, with no other observations by the same witnesses or by neighbors, and because it was impossible to verify the hypothesis with the discotheques of the time, this hypothesis could not be verified.”
Source: BOULAUR (32) 24.03.1984
// [[T0002]] Reexamination and assessment
GEIPAN states that the case is classified as C because of a lack of corroborating information, while noting that it resembles a misidentification of a skytracer.
Claim #4400 // ASSESSMENT // SOURCED // 99% extraction confidence
“In GEIPAN’s current classification, this case of low strangeness is classified as “C,” due to a lack of corroborating information, although it resembles a misidentification of a skytracer.”
