On March 23, 2011 at around 11:30 PM, a motorist notices in the sky a large ball with a color tending toward red. He stops and takes a photo of this ball just before it suddenly disappears. The description given by the witness matches the head-on observation of an aircraft coming from the East (possibly the Nice–Toulouse flight that lands at Blagnac around 9:55 PM): facing the aircraft, the observer sees the aircraft's forward landing light as a stationary point (the blinking lights are not visible, because the forward light blinds), if the aircraft changes its course slightly, for example to join the axis of the Blagnac runway, the luminous point moves laterally, then disappears because the witness is no longer in line with the lights. It is this hypothesis that is retained by GEIPAN, for this case classified "B": probable observation of an aircraft head-on.
