Vanishing suddenly in Hauts-de-Seine, France

On August 21, 2010 at 11:30 PM, three witnesses observed from the terrace of their apartment the rapid movements of three balls of light in the cloudy sky. The phenomenon disappeared suddenly. Of low strangeness and insufficient consistency due to the absence of any indications of direction and elevation, we cannot identify with certainty the origin of what was very likely a multi-beam nightclub light.

What stood out: vanishing suddenly
