An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Aude, France

On August 8, 2014 at midnight during a stormy episode, a witness is intrigued by a luminous phenomenon in the clouds. The witness sees a white-blue luminous point that disappears and reappears a few meters further away in the clouds. The witness's description of luminous points in a very cloudy and stormy sky (the witness describes at least one lightning flash) probably corresponds to a ball lightning phenomenon. GEIPAN did not receive the video mentioned by the witness and is not able to confirm the hypothesis, which remains of good probability. GEIPAN classifies this case as B: probable ball lightning.
