The report, as filed
Dans la nuit du 11 au 12 septembre 1993 de nombreux témoins témoignent de l'observation de nombreux points lumineux formant une forme indéfinie et tournant dans le ciel. L'enquête montrera qu'il s'agit vraisemblablement de projecteurs d'une discothèque voisine. [GEIPAN classification B — Animation lumineuse]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1993-09-01329). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
