Summary

On January 11, 2014, a witness in Eure (France) observed between 6 and 8 bright white lights silently appearing in a cloudy sky. These lights rotated and disappeared within minutes, following a straight trajectory. The observation lasted only 15 seconds, and no other witnesses were reported. Although the testimony is clear, the investigation concluded that the conditions were ideal for seeing white birds flying at high altitude, reflecting sunlight. No other elements suggest a more mysterious explanation.

The GEIPAN classification of the case is "B," indicating a likely observation of birds in flight. Despite the brevity and novelty of the phenomenon, experts consider there are no objective elements supporting a more extraordinary interpretation. The most reasonable explanation, given the position of the sun and the light contrast, points to an optical illusion caused by birds reflecting the light of the sunset.
