An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Paris, France

On June 13, 2008 at 11:30 PM, witnesses observed from their homes the movement of luminous phenomena. A film will show clear lights moving from the northeast to the northwest. Other people in the street will catch sight of the lights, and many internet users will testify on various websites. The large number of luminous objects moving along the same trajectory and with low luminosity is probably due to a release of Thai lanterns during a festive event. Those responsible and the launch sites of these balloon lanterns are very difficult to find, and we urge people who engage in this kind of activity to come forward to GEIPAN.
