An account in Somme, France

In the night of July 17 to 18, 1993, between 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m., a witness observed from his home a ballet of white luminous circles spinning at high speed in the sky. After about an hour, a third luminous circle came to join the other two. The witness stopped observing this phenomenon around 2:30 a.m. Although this has not been proven, it is highly likely that the observed phenomenon was a beam of searchlights or advertising or nightclub laser rays.
