An open record of things people cannot explain

Police witness in Nord, France

A witness reports an observation made in the company of his wife: on July 14, 2011 at 11:49 PM, these people observed in the sky the silent passage of a bright orange-colored glow. The object moved at constant speed along a straight trajectory. A film taken from a mobile phone was made during the last 43 seconds during which the object was visible. (The witness posted his film on the Internet.) The description given matches the characteristics of a Thai lantern: size, light, movement, date and time. However, the origin of the release was not investigated, and the case is classified as B. The police report, received on November 4, 2011, suggests that the phenomenon could be a flying wing whose luminosity is explained by the presence of LEDs connected to a battery.
