A triangle shape in Tarn, France

On September 12, 2012 at around 9:30 PM, a female driver is intrigued by the presence in the sky and at low altitude of three colored lights (red, blue, white) that blink and outline a triangular shape. No particular noise is heard during the movement of the phenomenon, which changes course and disappears in the direction of Saussenac. The observation lasted 2 minutes. No other testimony will be collected. Of average strangeness and low consistency (single witness, short-duration observation), this case turns out to be a possible misidentification with an aircraft (see the investigation note). However, despite a fairly typical description, the poor quality of the testimony and the long processing delay of the case prevent the formal identification of a possible airplane. It is not the witness's visual perception that is in question, but the interpretation that the witness makes of their observation through their state of mind (fatigue, night driving). This case is classified B, probable observation of an aircraft.
