UFO in Rantigny 2016

Summary

In September 2016, a witness in Rantigny observed cotton-like objects spinning silently in a cloudy sky. He alerted his partner and a neighbor, who confirmed the same phenomenon. The event disappeared around 11 PM and was not bright enough to be photographed. Two testimonies were collected, and although initially mysterious, it was concluded that the phenomenon was caused by laser beams reflected on clouds or fine rain. The witness himself noticed the beams coming from the ground, pointing to artificial sources like nightclubs or events. Neighbors mentioned spotlights, and it was explained that, depending on atmospheric conditions, the beams and their reflections could appear differently, similar to light effects in a cinema with smoke. Although the GEIPAN did not identify the exact source, the case was classified as a sky phenomenon with luminous spots.
