Summary

On August 12, 2001, a certified air traffic controller in Agde spotted three orange luminous points crossing the sky at high speed. He estimated the objects were flying at about 3,000 meters altitude and roughly 250 knots. The phenomenon lasted around ten seconds and no conventional explanation was found. The witness's professional background lends particular weight to his technical estimates of altitude and speed. GEIPAN classified the case as C, indicating the phenomenon could not be identified with certainty.
