Case description

On Wednesday 9 November 2011 at 21:05, several people in a car briefly saw a blue phenomenon described as a flash, lightning-like streak or semicircle, and as a kind of rainbow in the summary. On arriving home and leaving the car, one passenger saw a second phenomenon for 5–7 seconds: a large, stationary orange wheel that vanished instantly. None of the others saw this second event. A skytracker briefly switched on, perhaps accidentally, and made striking by fog is plausible. The analysis gives the brief duration as 5–10 seconds. However, the nightclub manager could not confirm this hypothesis, and the witness firmly rejected it. Given the contradictions and brevity, GEIPAN classifies the case C: insufficient reliable information.
