What happened
One evening, between 9:30 and 10:30 pm, several motorists noticed an object in the sky carrying three lights. One was white, while the other two, one green and one red, were flashing. The object moved quickly and changed direction as it went. One of the witnesses said they had already seen the same thing several times between February and March.
GEIPAN concluded that these people most likely saw an aircraft, probably a helicopter. The case was classified B (probably identified).
