An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Ille-et-Vilaine, France

Several people in a vehicle observe on May 17, 2008 at around 1:45 a.m. the presence in the sky of a luminous phenomenon that intrigues them: two luminous masses of opaque white color move across the sky. They change shape, appearing then disappearing for a few seconds. Curiosity, awakened by a recent article in the local press, the excellent visibility, and the increasing sophistication of entertainment spotlights surprised the witnesses to the point of pushing them to report, for what is certainly only a misidentification with a Sky Rose type spotlight. Another witness very probably saw the same thing the following night (case Cesson-Sévigné (35) 17.05.2008). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Skyrose type light displays.
