Luminous shape in the French sky

Summary

On August 17, 1994, around midnight, a witness in Bouches-du-Rhône observed a luminous shape with undefined contours that appeared to resemble forged iron. The light displayed hues of yellow, orange, and green. The sighting was very brief, lasting approximately 4 seconds, which limited the amount of information that could be gathered. This case, classified as C by the GEIPAN, did not provide further details due to the fleeting nature of the phenomenon. Despite its brevity, the description of the shape and colors caught the attention of researchers.
