Yvelines, France · 2011-06-26 · from the GEIPAN archive
On June 26, 2011 at 2:30 a.m., a person is looking at the stars. He is intrigued by a bright point that moves, quickly followed by several other bright points (between 5 and 7). These points move slowly and silently, aligned in a V formation, and head in a westerly direction. The description of the orange points in a V formation suggests flying lanterns. This hypothesis is refuted by the witness, and movement according to the wind could not be confirmed because the wind was very unstable that night. Because he did not see stars in the middle of the triangle, the witness interprets the set of points as the perimeter of an object, but he may have been dazzled by the bright points. The hypothesis of a formation flight of planes heading to the Le Bourget airshow could not be verified, because the investigation was too late. Given these doubtful or contradictory elements, GEIPAN classifies this case "C".
