COSNE-COURS-SUR-LOIRE (58) 05.07.2014

In the Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire case dated 5 July 2014, witnesses described orange lights moving slowly and silently. Their descriptions and the investigation make sky lanterns very probable. Two independent accounts give high evidential support, scored 0.8. A real phenomenon is certain, though simultaneous observation is not: differing times might reflect uncertainty or a second release from the same place. Strangeness is low, scored 0.3, because the description closely resembles a familiar phenomenon. GEIPAN classifies the case B: very probable sky lanterns. It could have been A had those responsible for the possible release been identified.
