An orange orb in Morbihan, France
On December 21, 2008 at 7:46 p.m., a motorist and his passenger noticed a phenomenon in the sky that intrigued them. Stopping the car, the witnesses observed for several minutes three circles of yellow-orange light moving silently.
The description of the phenomenon: 3 orange balls moving for a few minutes in the direction of the wind (light west wind that evening, see weather report) matches perfectly the characteristics of Thai lanterns; the witnesses' account gives details that reinforce this hypothesis: "fitted with a ring," "yellow-orange color, like a lighter flame." The time (7:46 p.m.) and the day (Sunday) are not usual, but it could have been a test in view of a larger release planned for the end-of-year celebrations.
Although the witness does not approve this hypothesis, this case is classified "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
