An account in Occitanie, France

On October 28, 1994, late in the afternoon, in the Gard and Hérault regions, witnesses saw a stationary luminous phenomenon. For some witnesses equipped with a camera with a zoom, the object had a particular shape formed by points of light. In the center, a less bright light could be distinguished. The witnesses then saw the object split in two. The observation ended with the disappearance of the luminous phenomenon at very high speed. No photo was taken. No other information could be gathered.
