UFO light in Dordogne 1988

Summary

In December 1988, a witness in Dordogne observed an intense light of blue-violet color moving in a straight line. The light, brighter than an electric arc, appeared about 60 meters away. The witness described a round shape moving silently at high speed. During the 3-4 second observation, the witness experienced pressure and an electric shock. His dog ran towards the house without responding to commands. Authorities received two testimonies, one immediate and another 10 days later.

The investigation concluded the phenomenon could be related to an electrical event. The light was seen near an intersection of power lines and a transformer. Additionally, a voltage drop was reported by neighbors. The hypothesis suggests a light ball could have formed from air and molecule ionization in the presence of a strong electric field. The GEIPAN re-examined the case and now classifies it as B, indicating it is an electrical phenomenon and plasma.
