Eye in the clouds seen at 130 km/h

Summary

On October 26, 2004, a driver on the highway in Bouches-du-Rhône noticed a strange phenomenon in the sky. While driving at 130 km/h, he suddenly felt as if he was being observed. Looking back, he saw gray circular shapes in a cloud moving like fan blades, which made him think of an "eye." The observation was brief and discontinuous, as he did not stop. The testimony came three years later, raising doubts about its reliability. The report notes that the witness had a similar experience two weeks earlier, suggesting possible confusion or a strong emotional context.

The GEIPAN classification marked the case as "C" due to a lack of reliable information. The report points out that the testimony lacked consistency, as it was based on an observation made under less-than-ideal conditions and with an intense emotional context. Moreover, the possibility of a reflection from closed windows was not entirely ruled out, although the witness rejected it. The feeling of being observed seems to have influenced the perception of the phenomenon, making an objective evaluation of the case difficult.
