An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Alpes-Maritimes, France

A witness reports an observation made with binoculars on May 29, 2011, between 10:41 PM and 10:45 PM. He observes the weak random East-South movement of about a hundred white luminous points. Given the weak movement of the whole, without cohesion, to be correlated with the weak wind at that moment, GEIPAN puts forward the hypothesis that these white points were party balloons released on the occasion of a celebration, weakly lit by the city lights (no Moon visible at that time). GEIPAN classifies this case "B," probable observation of party balloons.
