A witness reports their observation made on April 27, 2012 at twelve twenty at night above the ponds of Grec and Pérols at Carnon Plage. The yellow luminous phenomenon is crescent-moon shaped and almost static before back-and-forth movements. No noise is heard during the 40-minute observation. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. The direction of the phenomenon indicated by the witness (see witness sketch) is very close to the position of the Moon in the sky (Azimuth of 290°, see star chart on the western sky). The video shows that the observed object is indeed the Moon, occasionally obscured by clouds. The apparent movements of the object toward the West are an optical illusion due to the movement of the cloudy background, which was moving toward the East (see weather report). This case is classified "A": observation of the Moon with an optical illusion for its movement.
