AnomalyOn October 3, 2013, at around 10:05 PM, a witness is intrigued by the presence at low altitude in the sky of a sort of bright orange semicircle. The observation lasts 5 minutes. More than a year after the facts, and after having studied various possibilities of misidentification, the GEIPAN proposed to the witness an on-site investigation; the latter responded that he had found the origin of the phenomenon himself: a distant streetlamp. The GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of a streetlamp.
