Yvelines, France · 2008-07-31 · from the GEIPAN archive
A witness reports a five-second observation made on July 31, 2008 at 11:15 PM in a private garden. The witness observes 9 non-blinking points of light moving silently from East to West in the starry sky. These points, grouped in three triangles, outline a triangular formation that suddenly takes an upward movement before disappearing. No other testimony about this phenomenon will be collected. The witness, who clearly saw a strange phenomenon, was very impressed by his observation. The movement of the lights does not match the direction of the wind, which rules out the hypothesis of Thai lanterns. This case was submitted to the GEIPAN experts. The testimony contains few concrete elements, and there is only one witness, which makes it a case of weak consistency. Therefore, this case is classified "C": observation not exploitable for lack of information.
