On the evening of January 7, 2014, between 8 PM and 11 PM, a person successively observed from their home diffuse, moving luminous phenomena in the cloudy sky above Paris. The phenomenon moved in an arc, with variable length and sometimes stops of one second. Only one testimony was collected, and two photos were attached to the questionnaire. Given the objective elements defined in the investigation report, namely the movement, color, shape, and diffuse appearance of the UAPs, the absence of a beam being entirely plausible and explainable, and the presence of installations located along the observation azimuth likely to use such equipment, we can conclude that the observed UAPs are probably only laser impacts on the lower dense cloud layer. This case is classified as B, as a probable observation of the impact of laser beams used in the context of a local event on the cloud layer.
