An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France

A witness observes, for a few seconds, on May 2, 2010 at 3:20 a.m., a very bright sphere moving rapidly toward the southeast, then suddenly disappearing. A few seconds later, a second sphere appears and then disappears while executing a 180-degree loop downward. The description of the observation of a bright sphere suddenly disappearing, followed by a second bright sphere disappearing in turn (extinguishing due to fuel exhaustion) suggests the observation of luminous flying lanterns, all the more so since the observation was made on the night from Saturday to Sunday. Nevertheless, despite follow-ups from Geipan, no additional information allowed a more in-depth investigation to be conducted. The case is classified as B, as a probable observation of lanterns.
