[D912] de AGDE (34) vers BEZIERS (34) 13.06.2011

In the case dated 13 June 2011 on the D912 from Agde (34) toward Béziers (34), a driver and passengers watched a bluish luminous oval move rapidly and randomly across a cloud layer. Only 1 account was sent to GEIPAN. The blue spot on clouds, resembling a large flashlight beam, its random changes in direction and height, 30-minute duration and 02:00 timing during a festive long weekend strongly suggest a light display from one of the region's many nightclubs. GEIPAN notes that moving spots on cloud bases frequently cause misidentifications and that the beams themselves may be invisible depending on weather conditions. It judged a search for the specific nightclub unlikely to add to an already low-strangeness case whose features mostly matched a known phenomenon. The case is classified B: probable nightclub light display.
