An account in Aude, France

On June 28, 2009, at around 4:30 a.m., campers were intrigued by the movements of luminous phenomena in the sky. Only one testimony was sent to GEIPAN. The movements described by the objects are difficult to match with the usual sources of misidentification, except for nightclub spotlights, but these are mainly noticed in overcast weather, not in a clear sky. In any case, it is rare for them to operate for only a few dozen seconds. This observation case presents a high level of strangeness and would merit a thorough investigation to confirm its consistency. GEIPAN actively tried to re-establish contact with the witness without success. This strange case remains weakly consistent due to the uniqueness of the testimony and the absence of an investigation. This case is provisionally classified as C, pending hypothetical additional information.
