Pyrénées-Orientales, France · 2012-12-12 · from the GEIPAN archive
On December 12, 2012 at 7:20 PM (UTC) a pilot and a controller are intrigued by the presence in the sky of a yellow-orange light of strong magnitude. A photograph was able to be taken from the plane. The phenomenon was also seen by a ground observer at ESPIRA de l'AGLY (66) the same day. The local investigation with the nearby military base found that training exercises had taken place two evenings in a row with flare rockets. This perfectly characterized case is therefore classified "A".
