Green light in Rh�ne, France
On August 6, 2015 between 12:15 a.m. and 12:20 a.m., a witness watching television is surprised by the sudden presence of a very powerful green light beam that enters his apartment. The phenomenon moves around on the walls for a few seconds. The witness rules out the possibility of a laser, being on the 4th floor with no facing buildings. No other testimony will be collected.
A very bright green spot that moves very quickly and randomly has all the characteristics of a handheld portable green laser spot operated by a prankster.
This type of very powerful laser has a range of several kilometers. At long distance, the movements of the light spot are of course extremely fast: a movement of the operator's hand of only a few degrees results in a large displacement of the beam at more than a kilometer.
This type of laser is banned for sale in France, but unfortunately fairly widespread. Users of these lasers are severely punished if they aim at aircraft in flight.
GEIPAN does not have the means to search for the operators of these devices.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a green laser spot manually operated at long distance.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
