AnomalyOn November 28, 2013 at 12:10 p.m., a female motorist hears a bang and immediately observes in the sky above a field a large burst of yellow fire and black smoke all around it. The phenomenon disappears quickly. Another person, on a road adjacent to the one where the witness was, seems to have looked in the same direction of the sky at that moment. No other testimony will be collected. The description of the observation, in particular the sequence (bang then bright fire-colored glow accompanied by a black cloud), all over a short duration (of a detonating rocket for a blank pistol). The origin of the launch cannot be determined, but it is possible that it was the motorist who was on the road parallel to the one where the witness was (and who was also looking at the sky). Consequently, GEIPAN classifies this case as B: flare rocket.
