Valenciennes 2011, observation of a light in the sky

Summary

A couple reported in 2011 the observation of an orange light moving silently and in a straight line across the sky. The object, visible for 43 seconds, was recorded with a mobile phone. Initially thought to be a Thai lantern, the origin of the launch was not verified. A gendarmerie report suggested it could be a glider with LED lights. The case was classified as B due to lack of conclusive evidence.
