What happened
During the night of 10 to 11 December 1993, three members of the same family saw cylindrical-shaped luminous phenomena in the sky. The lights appeared between 1:45 and 3:00 a.m.
The investigation turned to a "sky rose" type laser operating on the roof of a nightclub from 10:30 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. GEIPAN concluded that the witnesses had seen light effects from a nightclub projector, and the case was classified A (identified).
