Finistère, France · 2013-09-08 · from the GEIPAN archive
In the night of September 7 to 8, 2013 at 1:25 a.m., a couple notices in the sky the East-West movement of about thirty luminous points of a whitish color. The speed is constant, no noise, no trail, and no blinking lights are noticed. The observation of dozens of luminous points flying together in a straight line on the night from Saturday to Sunday is fairly common, and clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably launched at the end of a wedding. It is noted that the witness is observing 800 meters from the Saint-Aignan castle, which organized a wedding dinner that evening. It is not possible to correlate the direction of movement with the wind recorded at Bordeaux-Mérignac at that time because the wind, very weak, changed direction at least every hour, and the proximity of the Dordogne can cause local breezes. GEIPAN classifies this case 'B': probable observation of Thai lanterns.
On Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 10 p.m., two walkers are intrigued by the straight-line and silent movement in the sky of an orange luminous point. The observation lasts two to three minutes b…
