An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Savoie, France

A witness reports an observation made on January 21 between 7:42 a.m. and 7:45 a.m.: between the peaks of Grosse Tête and Grand Miceau, a group of white and flashing lights moves slowly. The whole thing will disappear hidden by the landscape. The investigation showed that a balloon radiosonde was released near St Exupéry airport 1 hour 40 minutes before the observation. The hypothesis of observing these balloons lit by the rising sun remains the most plausible. This case is classified B: probable observation of a string of weather balloons.
