SAINT-JOSEPH (974) 17.03.1994

On 17 March 1994 at about 20:00, a witness in Saint-Joseph alerted the gendarmes to a turquoise-green light with a red point rotating rapidly above the sea. They patrolled for about an hour without seeing it. That same evening, pupils from a secondary school were watching for Jupiter to rise but saw nothing else. The phenomenon recurred on 3 April and was seen by several witnesses. No aircraft was identified. The reported characteristics suggest reflections caused by a laser, which the summary describes as the likely explanation.
