Red lights in Vaucluse, France

On November 12, 2012, at 2:43 a.m., a witness observed for 20 seconds the passage across the sky of a phenomenon he did not recognize. No other testimony was collected. The witness described a flying object as a "sort of flying car, lit up in green and equipped with red lights at the rear" moving at low altitude above the city. The path of the craft and the red and green lights suggested a helicopter, but the witness did not mention flashing lights or noise. The testimony is not very detailed; the GEIPAN several times offered the witness a meeting on site with an investigator, but the witness was unable to make himself available. Given this insufficient information, this case is classified "C".
