What happened
At about 3:30 a.m., a witness and their spouse noticed a very bright mass of light in the sky, scattered with many shining points, moving across the sky.
The investigation quickly pointed to a probable explanation: what they saw was most likely the beam of a "Sky rose" nightclub projector. The light from this kind of device can be seen from several kilometres away, depending on cloud cover and atmospheric conditions. The case was classified B, probably identified.
