The report, as filed
Le 25 octobre 1994 vers 19h40, un témoin ainsi que son épouse observent une boule blanche fixe puis oscillant de droite à gauche régulièrement avec des changements de couleur rose et vert. Le phénomène décrit est vraisemblablement l'observation d'un projecteur laser publicitaire fréquemment utilisé par les discothèques. [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1994-10-01375). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
