A triangle shape in Sarthe, France

On December 3, 2009 at 7:16 a.m., two high school students observe in the sky three round, yellow lights forming a triangle, which move without noise and fairly quickly, then suddenly disappear. GEIPAN receives only one questionnaire. No response from the witness to a request for a drawing. The textual explanation is insufficient to allow GEIPAN to investigate: lack of information.
