Var, France · 1967-09--- · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness reports in 2015 an observation made in September 1967 (the exact day is unknown) at 9 p.m. While waiting outside for a friend, he notices a yellow-orange luminous point just above the trees that moves from left to right over a short distance. Before each change of direction (there will be 4 of them) the point stabilizes for 2 to 3 seconds. No particular noise is heard. The observation lasts about 30 seconds, then the point disappears quickly into the distance. No trail is observed. No other testimony is collected. This rather strange observation of a luminous ball moving very fast in a zigzag recalls certain testimonies of ball lightning observations. This old, unique testimony, with no known precise date, does not allow (despite good illustrations) to confirm or rule out this hypothesis. GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of information.
