Photographed in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France
On April 19, 2008 at around 9:20 PM, three people observe in the sky the slow movement of three large yellow-orange luminous points. No particular noise is heard during the observation. The points suddenly disappear. One of the witnesses had the reflex to take a photograph: unfortunately, its poor quality as well as the absence of reference points only allows it to illustrate the testimony.
This testimony has all the characteristics of flying lanterns. But the witness gives no terrestrial or celestial reference points that would allow specifying the direction he estimates as from the southeast to the northeast. This imprecision prevents a firm conclusion because the wind recorded from the east-northeast does not match the described direction.
This case is classified as B, as a probable observation of flying lanterns.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
