An account in Nord, France

On March 31, 2008, between 10:20 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., a group of people at an airfield observe a luminous phenomenon that intrigues them: successively, white luminous rings move across the sky. No noise is heard during the observation. A local witness states that advertising laser projectors are frequently used in this area by restaurants or dance halls. The GEIPAN therefore classifies this case as "B": probable light show.
