An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France

On July 6, 2012, from 9:50 PM onward, several people were puzzled by the observation of luminous phenomena in the sky appearing many times (13 times) during the evening. One of the witnesses reported their observation to GEIPAN and to the gendarmerie. This observation by several witnesses describes a phenomenon of strange appearance that is very difficult to identify if one has not been informed beforehand. On the first Friday of July, the new class of the Patrouille de France performs a nighttime demonstration shortly after sunset, in the Salon de Provence area. The Alphajets are equipped with a powerful spotlight in the nose of the aircraft, visible from several tens of kilometers away, if and only if the observer is in line with the aircraft. During aerial acrobatics, the distant observer sees a set of luminous points appear and disappear. (See the case VAUCLUSE (84) 02.07.2008 and APT (84) 02.07.2010 This case is classified "A": observation of the Patrouille de France.
