AnomalyOn August 24, 2012 at 11:45 PM, a witness observed an oval luminous point turning in a circle in the cloudy sky for at least 30 minutes. This observation, on a Saturday evening, suggests a spotlight used for nightclub entertainment. However, a nightclub in Bourgoin-Jallieu stated that it does not use this type of device. One might also wonder about the use of such systems only 20 km from Lyon Satolas airport. Despite these reservations, knowing that there are spotlights of this type that are mobile (available for rental), and that they can be seen from more than 10 km away, this hypothesis remains the preferred one. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of a light display.
