Green light in La Réunion, France

Two witnesses report that on several evenings, between 10 p.m. and midnight, they saw a fluorescent green light rising vertically into the sky. A police officer confirms having also seen this luminosity in the sky at the same times. The gendarmerie's investigation will show that the atmospheric and cyclone studies laboratory of the Faculty of Sciences in Saint-Denis regularly uses a "laser" to study meteorological phenomena at night. The description of the fluorescent green light, stationary, matches the witnesses' statements on every point.
