Moving in formation in Oise, France

On December 11, 2014 at 3:35 a.m., a witness closes her window when she observes three equidistant points of light. It is this precise point that intrigues the witness, and makes her think it is a particular observation. Frightened, she will only look at the sky again around 3:50 a.m., but the points will have disappeared. No other testimony is recorded. With low strangeness and consistency, this case turns out to be a possible misidentification with the three stars making up the asterism known as Orion's Belt. Unfortunately, the lack of data (precise direction of observation, angular spacing between the points of the UAP) and the witness's state of fear at the time of the observation prevent any useful exploitation of the case. This case is classified as C, a case not identifiable due to lack of data, although a misidentification with the stars of Orion's Belt is possible.
