A brief email reports an observation made on May 10, 2008, around 11:30 PM in Avignon. A witness sees a bright flash in the clear sky with no storm. 10 seconds later, the witness observes the movement of a round, orange-colored object coming from the north, followed by another similar object. The two objects head toward the southeast before disappearing. Only one testimony was collected. This case is very poorly documented: 3 lines of email from the witness. The witness's observation is characteristic of an observation of a release of Thai lanterns, both in terms of colors, shapes, and type of trajectory.
