Finistère, France · 2010-08-19 · from the GEIPAN archive
On August 19, 2010 at 10:05 PM, a couple observed for about 30 seconds the slow and silent movement of a very large orange ball in the sky. Only one testimony was collected. This observation of an orange ball moving horizontally in the sky suggests a Thai lantern. But since the witness did not provide the video footage he took, and did not indicate the direction of movement, GEIPAN could not verify this hypothesis. GEIPAN classifies this case as "C" due to lack of information and cross-checking.
