AnomalyDirect testimony: during August 2003 (the witness no longer remembers the exact day) around midnight, five people gathered on the village square to watch the stars witness a particular luminous phenomenon. Looking at the sky and watching shooting stars, they are "flashed" for half a second by two rows of three spotlights just above them. The flash is white in color, the light intensity is significant and lights up like broad daylight. The spotlights go out gradually over one second. The whole thing happened without any noise. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
