Which is an accuate translation of the words, but doesn't explain what they mean in this context (pity!). I can't see why you'd light up/illuminate a packet, either. I'd have gone with packages of leaflets otherwise.

Then I wondered if it was something seen from the aircraft but in that case the numbers reported probably wouldn't be as consistent across three different locations (29, 29 and 30).

Tasche can also mean a pocket but that doesn't seem much help at the moment.
