On June 20, 2006 at 11:30 PM, a witness in the Fontainebleau forest is intrigued by the passage of a white-cream luminous disc in the sky. The trajectory is straight from West to East with a steady speed. No particular noise is heard during the two-to-three-minute observation. This not-very-strange phenomenon of a luminous point passing through the sky, depending on wind direction, suggests a Thai lantern, probably released during a solstice celebration. The oval shape, the cream color (the observer is in pitch darkness, any light appears white to him) are consistent with this hypothesis. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.
