Recent testimony (18/01/2015) of an old observation. On 11 October 2013 at 10:08, a witness observes 9 luminous points, of low intensity, forming a sort of checkerboard. The points disappear little by little. The witness takes photos. No other testimony is collected. The witness observes toward the Northwest (see his photos and the Google map), and sees the points move slightly from his right to his left. The wind recorded at Nîmes-Garons is from the North sector, weak (see record). Luminous points moving in a straight line in the sky evoke balloons reflecting the sun. Their movement is compatible with the North wind; this day of 10 October is a festival day in Aigues-Mortes, a balloon release is not surprising; these balloons carried by the North wind approach the witness horizontally, but move away from him vertically by gaining altitude, until they burst. The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of festive balloons. Given the low strangeness of the case, and the delay of more than a year between the observation and its reporting, the GEIPAN did not do local research on the origin of this release.
