AnomalyOn Friday, November 7, 2008, at 6:25 p.m., a witness is waiting for his partner to go to a show. He steps outside his home to observe the sky and notices two fixed, unusual bright points located to the East. As his friend arrives, the points slowly go out. The sighting lasted a few minutes. Two high-altitude weather balloons could entirely produce this appearance: the sighting takes place about an hour after sunset: at altitude, the balloons are still in sunlight; their simultaneous extinction, with entry into shadow, is entirely logical. This hypothesis, entirely plausible, could not however be confirmed by GEIPAN, too long after the facts. This case is classified B: probable observation of two weather balloons.
