Moving in formation in Nord, France

In the night of August 15 to 16, 2004, a man standing on his balcony saw twice, in a clear sky, luminous phenomena, golden in color and shimmering, moving at high speed. The first time, around 3:50 a.m., the lights moved in a triangle; the second time, around 4:20 a.m., they were in a line and on the same trajectory as before. Note the proximity of Lille Lesquin airport. No other information could be gathered about this observation, which was classified as C.
