An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Val-d'Oise, France

A family reports observing the silent passage of 3 luminous spheres on September 5, 2010, between 1:10 AM and 1:30 AM. One of the witnesses takes photographs with a mobile phone. The characteristics of the observation testimonies (night of Saturday/Sunday after midnight, non-dazzling orange-yellow light followed by other lights of the same type, no noise, trajectory at constant speed compatible with the direction of the wind) suggest a release of Thai lanterns. The village's event hall was rented for the same period (wedding, party?..). Contacts with the village town hall to request additional information having received no response, the case is classified as B, as the probable observation of Thai lanterns.
