Bouches-du-Rhône, France · 1991-08--- · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness reports that in 1991 around mid-August, she was able to see around 10:30 PM a set of white luminous points moving erratically in the sky. These points, very high in the sky, suddenly formed a ballet organizing into various geometric shapes. This lasted about 5 minutes before the whole set gathered into one point and disappeared, leaving a brief phosphorescent trail. This person was probably witness to the short-duration operation of a nightclub laser projector, which typically produces this kind of formation in the sky. The witness also indicates that a nightclub in a neighboring village has this type of equipment.
