Rosy balls over the sea in Toulon

Summary

A night guard reported seeing three pinkish, dull balls forming an isosceles triangle above the sea in Toulon on February 1, 1981. The case was initially classified as unexplained, but a modern review found key information was missing. There was no written and signed testimony from the witness, and the description was very vague. Additionally, details about size, distance, speed, or the duration of the observation were unknown.

The review concluded that the case could not be considered unexplained. Common explanations like party balloons or children illuminated by city lights were considered. Light winds from the north and the festive weekend night also supported this hypothesis. Without concrete data, the GEIPAN classified it as case C, due to the lack of reliable information.
