Photographed in Hauts-de-Seine, France
On Wednesday, July 22, at 12:45 a.m., a witness observed from his home the movement of four pale yellow lights heading toward Paris. He went to get his camera and upon returning only saw one left, which he photographed before it too disappeared.
The description matches observations of flying lanterns (known as Thai lanterns), and the wind direction recorded in Paris at the time of the observation reinforces this hypothesis.
This observation case, of low strangeness and medium consistency given the few details in the questionnaire and some discrepancies between it and the elements provided by phone, most likely comes down to a misidentification with Thai lanterns.
This case is classified as B: probable observation of the passage of Thai lanterns.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
