Moving in formation in Provence-Alpes-C�te-d'Azur, France
On July 5, 2002 between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., numerous witnesses observed several white lights aligned and moving together. The phenomenon was observed in several departments covering Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône. Depending on the testimonies, the lights numbered 6 or 8, aligned, in a circle, or in the shape of 2 triangles, but all agree that the movement was uniform for all the lights. Depending on the case, the observation lasted from a few minutes to an hour. Observations in 2008 with similar characteristics were investigated and classified as A, like the observation of a flight of the Patrouille de France: /geipan/actualites/13082009-Des-PAN-en-formation-dans-le-Vaucluse-en-Juillet-2008.html As a result, this case was re-examined and identified as observations of the Patrouille de France.
