Moving in formation in Nord, France

On May 30, 2010, two people observe at 10:50 PM the passage above their home of about twenty orange orbs. These move without making any noise in the same direction. The witness did not respond to the various follow-ups from Geipan to get additional information. Without a police report, nor additional information, any investigation is impossible. Even though the characteristics (several orange orbs having a simultaneous transverse trajectory) suggest the known phenomenon of a formation flight of sky lanterns, this case is classified as C due to lack of information.
