On August 12, 2013, between approximately 11:15 PM and 11:33 PM, a witness observed a bright light slowly and irregularly flickering on a mountainside. It was located near a very difficult-to-access spot, which surprised the witness. The phenomenon decreased in intensity and disappeared. Given the elements of the investigation file, namely that the observation area is a zone of human activity (access to the Valmenier ski lifts) and that the color and appearance of the UAP are typical of the use of a flashlight, we can conclude that the UAP observed by the witness is most likely a powerful flashlight used by one or more person(s) present on site, near the ski lift installations. This case is classified as "B" as a very probable observation of a powerful flashlight.
