An account in Rhône, France
On September 15, 2012, at 10:30 PM, a witness observed, from the open window of his bathroom, multiple multicolored points of light forming a sort of trapezoid. The points did not blink. The shape seemed motionless, the size of a large building. The height was compared to that of a helicopter in flight. The witness took a few photos. The UAP disappeared while the witness had looked away from it. The strangeness of the phenomenon can be considered low (static, lasting, dimly lit phenomenon) with a possible explanatory hypothesis but no confirmation. The testimony is of average consistency: single witness and no match between what is visible in the photographs and the witness's description of the phenomenon. Furthermore, the investigation took place long after the observation. GEIPAN classifies this case in category "C" due to a lack of corroborating information (other witnesses, good-quality photographs, assessment of animations). The most likely hypothesis, the observation of a light-projection type display, could not be confirmed.
