UFO observed in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon in 2012

Summary

In May 2012, two people in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon noticed a luminous object in the sky. One of them recorded the phenomenon with a camera, although the poor quality of the video did not allow for precise measurements of the object's size, distance, or speed. The GEIPAN report concluded that the object was likely a glider in thermal flight. Given the nearby airfield and favorable weather conditions for gliding, it was considered that the intermittent lights were reflections of sunlight on the wings or body of the glider. The case was classified as "B," indicating a probable observation of a conventional phenomenon.
