Summary

On September 4, 1993, in the Pas-de-Calais region of France, several witnesses reported observing a circular light phenomenon composed of multiple glowing orbs. The event occurred around 10:30 PM and attracted the attention of many people in the area. Descriptions were consistent regarding the shape and movement of the lights, initially causing some concern. However, after an investigation by the GEIPAN, it was discovered that the phenomenon had nothing to do with unidentified flying objects. Instead, it turned out to be a carnival equipped with rotating laser projectors, creating the illusion of mysterious aerial objects. This case served as a classic example of how human perception can misinterpret everyday events as unexplained phenomena.
