UFO in Vaucluse 1993, rotating and mysterious light

Summary

In December 1993, a driver in Vaucluse observed a very large light spinning in the sky. The phenomenon, which lasted about twenty minutes, was also seen by other witnesses who joined the area. The light made no noise and appeared and disappeared unexpectedly, accompanied by smaller lights. Although only one witness filed a formal report, the case was re-examined by the GEIPAN, which classified it as likely caused by a laser or "Sky Rose" display. However, the origin of the phenomenon could not be confirmed due to the lack of information about installations or compatible weather conditions.

The description of the case matches typical characteristics of laser animations that reflect patterns in the sky, especially in humid or cloudy conditions. These effects, now common, were rarer in 1993. Although no direct evidence of the phenomenon's origin was found in the Avignon area, another case on the same day in a different location confirmed that such effects were produced by equipment sold to nightclubs in France. This finding supports the hypothesis that the observed phenomenon could have had an earthly origin.
