On December 31, 2009, around midnight, two groups of people observe in the sky over Contamines-Montjoie (Haute-Savoie) the movement of lights that disappear quickly. Returning from vacation, one of the witnesses, intrigued by what he observed, contacts GEIPAN and will make a statement of his observation to the gendarmerie.
