An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Rhône, France

The witness takes the air at their window at 6:30 PM when they see and film a black dot with two orange trails moving across the sky. The phenomenon disappears at the horizon. The witness posts their video on the Internet. The observation of orange trails at dusk in very clear weather suggests high-altitude aircraft condensation trails, at a distance of 20 to 100 km. The video leaves no doubt about this phenomenon, which is easy to observe in good weather in the West. See on this subject: strange aircraft trails. GEIPAN classifies this case as A: certain observation of condensation trails.
