Moving in formation in Landes, France
The witness is waiting for the fireworks when she observes 7 bright points moving in the shape of a cross. The phenomenon disappears into the clouds.
The observation of bright points crossing the sky in formation in less than a minute, on a festive night, clearly suggests Thai lanterns or glowing balloons carried by the wind, probably released nearby as part of the local celebration; one could even think of simple latex or mylar balloons lit only by the lights of the small town. The movement is observed toward the southwest (direction of the ocean). The wind recorded at Biarritz (37 km to the south) is light and from the south: weather data.
The wind recorded at Biscarosse (70 km to the north) is from the northwest: weather data.
The local wind at Vieux Boucou therefore proves quite difficult to determine. On summer evenings, the local wind on the coast depends more on sea breezes or thermal effects than on the general wind pattern, if winds are light; verifying whether the movement of the bright points matches the wind is therefore not possible.
The fact that, despite the large number of potential witnesses, there was only one report indicates that this phenomenon was not considered strange by most of the people present.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns or balloons.

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
