An account in Haute-Garonne, France

In the night of June 8 to 9, 2013, around one in the morning, a motorist observes for several minutes the silent movements of clear light effects in the cloudy night sky. Only one testimony is collected. The description of the phenomenon clearly evokes a light display (laser?) frequently used by nightclubs to draw attention to themselves. This phenomenon was also observed at the same location in the night of the 22nd to the 23rd by another witness. Saturday-to-Sunday nights are of course preferred for these displays. The cloudy weather (see the Météociel report) is favorable to a very strong effect from this type of projector. The witness's description suggests the effect produced by a multi-beam projector similar to the one in this video Wedding searchlight hire Nottingham. GEIPAN did not carry out searches to identify the source of this display that evening, but the nightclub "Le Coyote" in Saint-Elix-Le-Château often uses this device: it is highly likely that it was the source. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": very probable observation of a light display of the multi-beam projector type.
