ROQUEBRUNE-SUR-ARGENS (83) 14.09.2025

On 14 September 2025, witnesses at home in Roquebrune-sur-Argens (83) saw points of light appear and disappear intermittently in different parts of the sky. One recorded video during the final observation at about 20:08. GEIPAN considers the evidential basis good, with 3 witnesses and video, and identifies aircraft landing lights; see the investigation report. Under its criteria, evidential consistency means the amount of reliable, objectively supported information collected for an account. The white color, strong brightness, apparent stillness, low angular elevation and brief appearances all fit this explanation. A precise air-traffic reconstruction places 2 approaching aircraft in the observed positions, flying toward the witnesses on final approach to Nice airport with landing lights on. This substantially reduces the apparent strangeness. GEIPAN classifies the case A: aircraft landing lights.
