An account in Moselle, France

Several witnesses observe on April 1, 2009 at around 10:23 PM the rectilinear movement of two bright red spherical objects. No noise is heard during the observation. The objects gradually disappear in the distance. The characteristics described by the witnesses of several bright points moving along the same trajectory, following the direction of the wind, at low altitude and at moderate speed (20 km) favor the hypothesis of flying glowing balloons of the Thai lantern style. Nevertheless, in the absence of a statement to the gendarmerie and therefore of an official report, an in-depth investigation is not possible. These observations are therefore classified as C due to lack of sufficient information.
