An account in Var, France

On Sunday, April 27, 2008 at 4:17 a.m., a witness at his window is intrigued by the sight of the very rapid movement of a luminous phenomenon of circular and flattened shape. The object moves notably by forming circles. No particular noise is heard. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. Given the shape of the object similar to that produced by the projection of a laser onto a layer of low clouds, the movements of the object similar to those produced by the type of laser commonly used by nightclubs, the presence of a "tail" that could be likened to the terminal part of the laser beam before it meets the base of the clouds, the observation azimuth being the same as that toward which the nightclub producing the laser in question is located, the date (Saturday to Sunday night) matching that of the use of said laser, and the visibility of the laser from the witness's home (verified on site by the gendarmerie), we can conclude that the object described by the witness is certainly an effect of the laser from the nightclub "Le Fashion Room," used regularly on Saturday evenings from 11 p.m. to about 4 a.m., reflecting off the base of low clouds or local fog, probably present that day. This case is to be classified as "A" as an observation of a luminous animation.
