An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France

A motorist and his passengers observe in the sky the rapid and random movements of an oval and luminous shape. Bluish in color, it moves across the cloud ceiling. Only one testimony was sent to GEIPAN. The characteristics described (blue luminous spot 'on' the clouds, impression of a 'large electric torch', random movements in direction and height, observation duration of 30 minutes, observation at 2:00 a.m. on a 'festive' long weekend) inevitably evoke the observation of a light show from one of the many nightclubs in the Agde-Béziers region. This type of moving spot on a cloud ceiling is frequently a source of misidentification and depending on weather conditions the beams may not be visible. Locating and precisely searching for the nightclub in question would add nothing more to the low degree of strangeness of an observation whose majority of characteristics are those of a known phenomenon. The case is classified as B as the probable observation of a nightclub light show.
