NICE (06) 17.04.2020

On 17 April 2020 at 21:15, a witness on the heights of Nice looked toward Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Grasse and saw numerous lights. Over nearly 50 minutes, points appeared to outline triangles, vertical or horizontal L shapes and circles, moving regularly and steadily across the sky. The procession then headed toward Italy and disappeared. He said his photographs had failed, but thought his blurred video might be usable. The gendarmerie obtained no additional evidence. GEIPAN requested more information on 9 June 2020, but the witness supplied neither the questionnaire nor the video. At the time of the source assessment, no matching report for that date and phenomenon had been found in GEIPAN's database. It classifies the case C: insufficient information.
