Saturday, November 15, 2014, after dark resident of the city of Caserta in the Campania region in southwest Italy noticed and photographed a few unexplained lights in the sky.

That evening Francesco Paolo Esposito, working in the Centre of Mcarthurglen have noticed over the many silent hovering lights. The UFO seemed to be moving in formation at a speed that is considered fast. The witness is convinced that what he saw is not normal.

"In the sky there was a group of lights. I just had to photograph them before they disappear quickly. At the beginning of one of them "fell" before moving right and then left. All the rest then lost altitude. They stayed only for a few minutes. Finally they left at high speed."

The photos show that it could be Chinese lanterns. But the evidence refutes this hypothesis.

Original news

Le samedi 15 novembre 2014, la nuit tombée, un habitant de la ville de Caserte, située dans la région de Campanie (au Sud-Ouest de l’Italie), a observé puis photographié plusieurs lumières inexpliquées dans le ciel.

Ce soir-là, Francesco Paolo Esposito, qui travaille au centre McArthurGlen, a remarqué, au-dessus de lui, une multitude de lumières vertes qui planaient sans bruit. Les OVNI semblaient se déplacer en formation à une vitesse jugée rapide. Le témoin est persuadé que ce qu’il a vu n’a rien de normal.

Il témoigne :

« Il y avait un groupe de lumières dans le ciel. J’ai juste eu le temps de les photographier, avant qu’elles ne disparaissent rapidement. Au début, l’une d’entre elles est tombée vers le bas, avant de se déplacer vers la droite puis vers la gauche. Tous les autres ont ensuite perdu de l’altitude. Elles ne sont restées là que quelques minutes. Finalement, elles sont parties au loin à grande vitesse. »

Les images nous suggèrent qu’il pourrait s’agit de lanternes chinoises. Mais le récit du témoin écarte cette hypothèse. Et vous, qu’en pensez-vous ?

 

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Sky Lantern

Sky Lantern (Chinese flashlight, Thai flashlight) - paper flying luminous structure made of rice paper stretched on a light wooden frame, bamboo ring, burner.

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

The location of objects relative to the focal center of the frame and bright light sources suggests the glare from the street lights.
