What happened
Shortly after midnight, a driver and their passengers noticed a very bright, silvery-white ball in the sky. According to their account, a beam of light came from the ball and struck the rear left of their vehicle.
No marks were found on the car, and no other witness account of the phenomenon was collected. Because of the lack of sufficient information, GEIPAN classified the case as C (insufficient data), concluding that it involved the observation of a ball and a beam of light.
