What happened
At around 4:30 in the morning, two witnesses saw an oval green shape for less than five seconds. It showed four white lights and was surrounded by a black ring. The colors were very bright and looked phosphorescent.
The object climbed very quickly into the sky at an angle of about 45°, moving from south to north. It then went out suddenly.
No other witness account was collected about this phenomenon. GEIPAN classified the case as C, because there was not enough information to reach a conclusion.
