Sighting in Lavazan, July 14, 1993

Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Sighting on July 14, 1993 in Lavazan (Gironde, France). GEIPAN considers the phenomenon probably identified (class B).

What happened

On the night of 13 to 14 July 1993, at around 1:30 a.m., a witness watched a white, circular shape for about fifteen minutes. It rotated and split in two. No other witness could be found.

GEIPAN classified the case as B (probably identified). Given the date, the national holiday, and the many celebrations held for it, the investigation considered it probable that the witness had seen a discotheque spotlight or laser beam.
