Open this case in the interactive AtlasCase description
On Sunday 4 May 2008 between 22:45 and 22:50 in Argences (14), 2 people on their terrace watched 3 yellow-orange lights for 15 seconds. They moved slowly west to north without sound, then disappeared suddenly.
This followed many sightings in western France during the same period, many explained by sky-lantern releases. GEIPAN considers the witnesses' description, light behaviour, yellow-orange colour and Sunday-evening timing suggestive of 3 sky lanterns, probably released at a family celebration.
