An account in Pas-de-Calais, France

On Friday, November 27, 2015, around 3 p.m., a motorist driving on a local road between Noeux-les-Mines (62) and Mazingarbe (62) observed about ten white luminous points and one dark point moving in the cloudy sky. The motorist stopped to film. The points moved at high speed and disappeared into the clouds. No noise was heard. The observation lasted one minute. No other testimony was collected. The movements in all directions of about ten white luminous points in the sky have no explanation at this stage. The witness's video shows a short trajectory of a white point (at 0.24 seconds) and that of a black point (at 0.33 seconds). The photo also shows a white point, all against a background of gray clouds. But beyond that, the observation information is not very precise. In particular, the witness does not give the exact location of the observation, does not identify on the video the multiple events he saw, which does not allow them to be found on that video. In view of these few elements, the possibility of birds is not excluded. The low level of information does not allow this observation to be processed. GEIPAN classifies the case in category C.
