An account in Hérault, France
On June 7, 2013 at 1 a.m., a witness is intrigued by the presence in the sky of a fixed white luminous phenomenon. He describes a white luminous point with a horizontal luminous trail and below it a curved shape of a pinkish color. No particular noise is heard. He makes the same observation the following night.
The GEIPAN commissioned a person to observe the surroundings of the village at night in order to spot a possible fixed fire, without success.
Finally, it was the witness himself who, with a neighbor, carefully observed the phenomenon and found that it was a reflection of the public lighting on an antenna.
