An account in Bouches-du-Rhône, France

Recent testimony (06/12/2014) of an old observation without a precise date. In April 1994 at around 10 p.m., a witness and his friend first observe a whitish glow of lenticular shape in the sky. One of the witnesses thinks it is an object, present for more than an hour and a half, and estimates its height at 300m. The object seems to make back-and-forth movements, then suddenly disappears as if sucked up into the sky. This long observation (1h30) of a whitish glow low on the horizon simply suggests the Moon, perhaps partially hidden by clouds, and then disappearing behind a cloud. This type of misidentification is frequent. The lack of a precise date makes it impossible to either verify or disprove this hypothesis. This case is classified "C" due to lack of precise information on the date of the event.
