Case description

In August 2015, a witness reported a sighting at Petite-Rosselle at 03:40 on the night of 9–10 May 2015. For 2 minutes, the witness saw 12–15 bright, round, light-colored objects arranged in a semicircle, with no sound heard. The summary refers to their movements, without further detail in the narrative. One account was collected. GEIPAN finds the information too limited for a full investigation. Nevertheless, numerous luminous balls on a weekend night, including a semicircular arrangement, suggest sky lanterns probably released nearby after a private party. GEIPAN classifies the case as C: insufficient information.
