An account in Isère, France
A witness reports an observation made on March 2, 2014 at 7:40 PM concerning numerous white or orange-yellow luminous phenomena present in the sky. The witness, who is traveling by car to continue their observation, will take a video and photographs with their mobile phone. Only one testimony will be collected on this phenomenon.
The witness sees several luminous points apparently motionless in the sky, the closest being blue-orange. One of them, higher than the others, disappears behind the clouds.
That day, Infoclimat records note a slight wind from the North, shifting to the South around 7 PM in Lyon, and around 9 PM in Valence. It is difficult to estimate what wind was blowing at 7:20 PM in Clonas, located between the two stations. See weather Bourg-Les-Valence and weather Lyon.
