An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Côte-d'Or, France

On Sunday, November 29, 2015 (and not November 30 as stated in the official report) a motorist is surprised to see 4 orange glows appear successively in the night sky. All move slowly in a straight line and without any noise. The witness films the scene with his mobile phone. Only one testimony is collected. All the elements and what can be reconstructed from them are consistent with an observation of a lantern release (see the investigation report): - the movement is consistent with the direction of the wind; - the appearance, color, and luminosity of the UAPs are consistent; - the passage of several UAPs one after another is typical; - it is a weekend day favorable to a festive event. The only doubt would concern the first point because the witness gave no detail on the direction of movement of the UAPs or on his perception of the wind (was he sheltered or not?). But the analysis of the video indicates a probable direction of movement (from South to North) consistent with the wind direction measured at the nearby stations 15 to 20 km away. This allows, given the other points, to maintain the hypothesis as probable. The consistency of the case is mediocre due to the lack of information given by the witness. Fortunately, the video, despite its poor quality, provides information on the probable direction of movement. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies it as B: probable observation of Thai lanterns.
