Sighting in Montpont-en-Bresse, October 25, 1984

Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France

Sighting on October 25, 1984 in Montpont-en-Bresse (Saône-et-Loire, France). GEIPAN considers the phenomenon probably identified (class B).

What happened

At around 7:40 p.m., a witness and their spouse noticed a white ball. At first it stayed still, then it began to swing from right to left at a steady pace. As it moved, its color changed at times to pink and green.

The investigation concluded that the phenomenon was most likely an advertising laser projector of the kind nightclubs often use. The case was therefore classified B, probably identified.
