Rhône, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Sighting on August 19, 1999 in Chessy (Rhône, France). GEIPAN could not reach a conclusion for lack of sufficient information (class C).

What happened

At 1 a.m., two gendarmes on a surveillance post observed in the sky a very bright point of light, around which three points of light, blue, green and red, were spinning very fast. From time to time the phenomenon moved like a pendulum. The observation lasted about 20 minutes.

No other information is available on this case, which GEIPAN classified as C, for insufficient data.
