What happened
At around 5 p.m., a witness who was driving noticed a luminous phenomenon they could not explain. They had the presence of mind to film it. The GEIPAN investigation concluded that it was probably a cloud-related phenomenon, so the case was classified B (probably identified). Once the tape had been viewed, it was returned to its owner, who wanted to use it commercially.
