On November 10, 2013 between 4:59 PM and 5:00 PM, a witness notices for 10 minutes the presence of a luminous intensity that is impossible to look at directly. While taking photographs of the Parc de Sceaux, the witness then notices on the photos the presence of a white then red luminous trail above the horizon that he cannot explain. Observing luminous phenomena at sunset directs the hypotheses toward the sun. The angle between the sun and the phenomenon is on the order of 22°, an angle favorable to the parhelion phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs in the presence of ice clouds at high altitude, which could be possible when one sees the sky full of cirrus clouds and a weather report indicating cold and dry weather; it can also occur on aircraft condensation trails: the observed shape, and the heavy air traffic also make this origin possible. GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of a parhelion. Note: the green spots observed on the photos are effects of internal reflections in the camera's optics (lens flare).
