Haut-Rhin, France · 1985-10-08 · from the GEIPAN archive
On October 8, 1985, witnesses observed unusual luminous phenomena. Despite the stormy weather and lightning present early that evening, one witness saw two blinding beams of light four times in a row: the light source seemed to be located 1 km from his home, above a group of trees and arranged in a straight line. Two other witnesses saw red, blue, and white lights appear three times in a row. No further information could be gathered about this phenomenon.
