Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
Le 25 mai 1990, vers 23 heures, plusieurs témoins sont intrigués par 3 projecteurs jaunes tournoyant dans le ciel. Le phénomène est vu par d'autres témoins sur plusieurs jours. L'enquête montrera sans ambiguité qu'il s'agit d'un système de projecteurs d'une discothèque voisine visible à plus de 30 km à la ronde. [GEIPAN classification A — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1990-05-01204). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
