  We report the experimental observation of a light polarization rotation in
vacuum in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Assuming that data
distribution is Gaussian, the average measured rotation is (3.9+/-0.5)e-12
rad/pass, at 5 T with 44000 passes through a 1m long magnet, with lambda = 1064
nm. The relevance of this result in terms of the existence of a light, neutral,
spin-zero particle is discussed.
