An account in Gironde, France
On April 5, 2010, at 3:49 or 5:49 in the morning, a witness from his balcony observes a very strong white light, very elongated and motionless. Then he notes that 3 luminous balls of yellow and red color separate from the light and leave in different directions. The main light disappears suddenly. Only one testimony will be collected. The description (appearance of the luminous points, weekend night) could correspond to Thai lanterns. Besides that, the cigar element is more difficult to explain with only the elements provided. Research and further exploration of possibilities (for example, clouds for cigars, position in the sky, conformity to wind for balloons) would have required additional information that the witness never provided despite several follow-ups. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies it as C: lack of information.
