Oise, France · 2012-02-18 · from the GEIPAN archive
On Saturday, February 18, 2012, around 8 p.m., a witness observes in the sky a luminous phenomenon that intrigues him: a white oblong glow appears stationary above the buildings of the farmstead. It disappears suddenly but reappears a few seconds later in the same place and performs a geometric figure (a half Z) at full speed before disappearing quickly. No other testimony will be collected. Of low strangeness and low consistency due to lack of precise orientation, this observation case seems to correspond to a misidentification with the movements of the light beam from a SkyTracer-type projector. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a light animation.
