On June 3, 2013 at around 11:30 PM, a witness and his wife observe fixed lights forming a triangle and think it is an airplane, but the lights approach and the witness distinguishes between them a dark, flat shape. Only one testimony is collected. This case was judged strange enough by GEIPAN for an investigator to be assigned to conduct a field investigation. This observation case turns out to have very good consistency, with two non-independent witnesses and a video of mediocre quality, leaving no doubt as to the reality of the phenomenon, and with a good estimate of its apparent trajectory. The strangeness of the case turns out to be low since it is consistent with the behavior of various well-known flying craft. Despite a few unexplained points (see the investigation report), the observed aspect is consistent with that of a group of helicopters.
