An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Moselle, France

On March 22, 2009 at around 8:45 p.m., two people are intrigued by a yellow ball passing silently and at low altitude in the sky. The witnesses observe the phenomenon, which begins to zigzag laterally and rapidly in bursts, turn orange, then disappear quickly. Only one testimony will be collected. Apart from the changes in direction, the testimony closely resembles the observation of an atmospheric reentry of satellite debris or a meteoroid, or a festive lantern. Here we have an observation of a medium level of strangeness, but the overall consistency does not allow a D1 classification. This case is classified as C for lack of independent testimonies and cross-checking.
