White Ball in the French Sky

Summary

On April 23, 2014, a witness in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region observed a white sphere followed by other spherical objects moving under the clouds. Initially thought to be balloons, meteorological data showed wind direction changes that did not match the observed movement. At 13:30, the wind was coming from the north or northeast, contradicting the direction of the objects. No aircraft were recorded in the area, leaving the matter unresolved. Without precise information on local wind conditions at that time, the GEIPAN classified the case as "C," meaning no definitive conclusion could be reached.
