AnomalyOn May 19, 2012 at 11:20 PM, several people from the same family observed the passage in the sky of hundreds of lights associated with shapes that frightened them. No noise was heard during the passage of the UAPs over their property. The Gendarmerie conducted a local investigation and identified a release of 100 Chinese lanterns during a wedding, a few hundred meters from the witnesses. GEIPAN verified the compatibility of the phenomenon with the local wind. GEIPAN confirms the conclusions of the Gendarmerie investigation, and classifies this case "A", perfectly identified, as a release of Thai lanterns. The witnesses' interpretation of this large-scale phenomenon was strongly influenced by surprise and fear.
