LAMNAY (72) 26.10.2011

On 26 October 2011 between 21:30 and 23:00 in Lamnay (72), a witness saw blue, pink and yellow lights above trees, about 200 m from the house, in a single thick cloud within an otherwise clear sky. The lights switched on and off. The witness woke a friend, who also saw them but soon returned to bed. The main witness watched repeatedly for over 1 hour through several windows, hearing no unusual sound, then went to bed frightened. No photographs were taken. The witness and the person later described as her husband found no ground traces in the observation area in subsequent days. No other account was collected. The source initially describes the awakened person as a friend and later mentions the husband, without clarifying their relationship to one another. None of the hypotheses—aircraft, lasers or air ionisation—was convincing enough to retain; see the investigation report. GEIPAN classifies the case D1 because of its strangeness, the single account and absence of recordings or traces.
