Red light in the sky over Lyon

Summary

On the night of April 12, 2008, a witness in Lyon observed a reddish light in the sky that caught their attention. The light remained visible for two to three minutes before disappearing over the horizon. Although the witness described the phenomenon as unusual, the GEIPAN concluded that it was a simple misidentification of the setting Moon. The description of the object did not match typical characteristics of a UFO, and the location coincided with where the Moon was at the time. This case was classified as "A," indicating it is an unverified observation and likely mistaken.
