On March 26, 2013 at 12:10 AM, a motorist is intrigued by the rapid east/west movement of an orange-colored luminous point framed by white points. With low strangeness and consistency (two witnesses, but only one testimony; unusable photographs), this case turns out to be a probable misidentification with an airplane. It should be noted that the radar reconstruction done at the request of GEIPAN made it possible to find an airplane flight whose trajectory and schedule are consistent with that of the observation. Unfortunately, the testimony lacks precision and the witness leaves too much room for personal interpretation. It is not the witness's visual perception that is at issue, but the interpretation the witness makes of their observation through their feelings (astonishment, fatigue, night driving). This case is classified B, probable misidentification with the observation of an airplane.
