On July 4, 2009, between approximately 12:30 a.m. and 12:43 a.m., a witness in a parking lot observes for 2 to 3 minutes a luminous phenomenon above the neighboring building. The sky is clear and the witness describes whitish-colored fireballs. The phenomenon moves silently along a south-north trajectory, then stops and changes direction before disappearing quickly toward the east. The witness films the scene on his mobile phone. Unfortunately, the videos of this case are unusable, and the two photographs extracted by the witness from the video are also unusable. No other testimony will be collected at GEIPAN concerning the observation of this phenomenon. GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to lack of information.
