Photographed in Savoie (Haute), France
On January 1, 2009 at 8:00 PM, several people observe from their balcony the movements of white lights. These unusual lights on the other side of Lake Geneva intrigue the witnesses, who photograph them and watch them with a telescope. At 9:45 PM these lights disappear. In daylight and thanks to the photographs, the witnesses precisely locate the place of their observation: it is the Pic de Boré, and precisely at the spot where a ski lift is located. The first hypothesis put forward by GEIPAN is that these white lights may have been mistaken for the headlights of a snow groomer in operation that evening. The witnesses will later give the probable explanation of the phenomenon: luminous balloons were used to light the slope on the evening of January 1, 2009. Although this observation case took place outside French territory, the proximity of the French border (Haute-Savoie department) and the well-documented questionnaire lead us to publish this testimony for information.
