Case description

On 18 March 2009 around 20:45, a witness in Mâcon saw about 10 luminous balls cross the sky south to north, following the Saône. GEIPAN considers their features consistent with flying lanterns, but requested additional information was not provided, preventing confirmation. No other accounts were obtained, and information remains insufficient.
