Luminous ball in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois

Summary

On June 6, 2010, a witness in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois observed a yellow glowing ball with an orange halo moving silently from south to north. The phenomenon lasted between 5 and 6 seconds and was described in detail. Although it resembled a Thai lantern, the report notes that local wind conditions were not recorded at the time. This complicates confirmation of that hypothesis, as the general wind in the area came from the north. In mountainous regions, local winds can vary between valleys, adding uncertainty. Despite the accurate account from the witness, the case was classified as C due to the lack of precise meteorological data and additional testimonies.
