On July 18, 2011 at around 9:15 PM, a witness is intrigued by the presence, above a hill in the Tanneron massif, of several orange glowing balls and white light flashes. The witness quickly notices the disappearance of some balls and the sudden appearance of other spheres. No noise is heard during the observation. The witness, from his home, will take many photographs. Of low strangeness and good consistency, this observation case, for its photographic part, is a certain misidentification with aircraft circling around Nice airport, unusually configured that evening due to the strong west wind. The other elements cited by the witness also suggest civilian aircraft, although the imprecision of the testimony does not allow this to be confirmed. This case is classified B: probable observation of airplanes near their landing.
