Vaucluse, France · 2008-05-14 · from the GEIPAN archive
On May 14, 2008, between 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM, during a birthday party, three people observed the slow movement along an east-west axis of three luminous balls of a yellow-orange color. No noise was heard. The observation lasted less than a minute. Only one testimony was collected. The witness's observation is characteristic of an observation of a release of Thai lanterns, both in terms of the colors, the shapes, and the type of trajectory. The general east-west direction of the movement is compatible with the wind direction measured at Avignon at 10 PM (east wind). Consequently, GEIPAN classifies the case as B: probable observation of Thai lanterns.
