Mouchamps (85) 25.12.2014

Summary

On December 25, 2014, two people in Mouchamps (Vendée) noticed a glowing trail moving across the night sky. The phenomenon suddenly disappeared and no unusual noise was heard. A third person in the village also observed it, but only one questionnaire was collected. During the investigation, several factors were considered, including weather conditions.

GEIPAN classified the case as "B", suggesting a probable observation of a Thai lantern affected by wind. Although the explanation is highly likely, the origin of the object was not confirmed with certainty. The report does not include a search for the person who launched it, so the nature of the phenomenon remains partially mysterious.
