An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Val-d'Oise, France

A witness reports by phone that he observed, on the night of June 27, 2009, between 11:55 PM and midnight, the passage of around fifty orange glowing balls. Other witnesses in his building, according to him, made the same observation. Although the description of the observation of a large number of orange-colored glowing balls suggests flying glowing lanterns, an investigation is impossible due to a lack of additional information (no questionnaire filled out, no official report) despite follow-ups made with the witness.
