An open record of things people cannot explain

Maine-et-Loire, France · 2010-07-11 · from the GEIPAN archive

Photographed in Maine-et-Loire, France

A witness reports observing streaks, then several red-orange disks moving silently in the sky on July 11, 2010, at around 2:20 a.m. The witness took photographs during the observation, which lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. The "red disks" photographed by the witness correspond to the photographic zoom used when taking the pictures. The characteristics described (several waves of red-orange lights moving in the same direction) largely match those of known phenomena of the flying lantern type. This hypothesis is validated by the discovery by the village mayor of partially burned paper lanterns in the parking lot of the town hall. This case is classified as A, as the observation of Thai lanterns.
