An account in Ardennes, France

On Sunday, January 9, 2011, at around 6:50 p.m., a witness observes, at low altitude, several orange lights that appear successively and move silently and slowly in the sky. The witness will film his observation from the appearance of the third UAP. No other testimony will be collected. The description of the phenomenon strongly resembles successive passages of Thai lanterns (color, speed of movement, low altitude, successive appearances coming from the same place). However, in this sparsely populated area, the origin and the release location could not be determined by the local investigation, and certain elements seem contradictory (passing behind clouds while the object flies quite low). The hypothesis of images caused by a laser projector was also considered, but no beam was seen or filmed. Given all these uncertainties, GEIPAN classifies this case "C".
