On September 1, 2012, a witness is intrigued by the horizontal and silent movements of a yellow luminous circle in the cloudy sky. The observation lasted nearly half an hour. No other testimony was collected. The description of the phenomenon (a yellow circle appearing or disappearing in the clouds) suggests a nightclub spotlight; Saturday evening is an opportune time for this type of entertainment. The gendarmerie investigation did not find any nearby establishment that could have provided this type of entertainment, but it is sometimes visible from more than 10 km away. GEIPAN classifies this slightly unusual case in category "B": probable observation of a light display.
