Case description

On Wednesday 22 July 2009 at 00:45, a witness at home saw 4 pale-yellow lights move slowly toward Paris. After fetching a camera, only 1 remained. The witness photographed it before it too disappeared. The description fits sky lanterns, and the recorded Paris wind direction supports this. Strangeness is low and evidential support moderate because the questionnaire contains little detail and differs in some respects from the telephone account. GEIPAN considers sky lanterns very probable and classifies the case B: probable sky-lantern passage.
