GENSAC-SUR-GARONNE (31) 02.09.2012

On 2 September 2012 at 04:00 in Gensac-sur-Garonne (31), several people saw a circular form in cloudy sky, estimated at 50–100 m diameter, moving silently at low altitude. About 15 steady lights marked the form, which rotated. The lights abruptly went out and the shape disappeared. Only 1 account was collected. GEIPAN finds rotating circular lights strongly suggestive of a nightclub light display; see the witness's drawing. A nightclub in Cazères (31) or Martres (31) often used this equipment. The lack of a visible upward beam surprised the witness. The source explains that such beams are visible only in humid conditions, whereas Toulouse-Blagnac weather recorded relatively dry air, 50% humidity, with total cloud cover, 8/8: ideal conditions for this projector effect on cloud. The observation ended around 04:20 on Sunday, consistent with nightclub closing time. GEIPAN classifies the case B: probable Skyrose-type light display.
