Red lights in Hauts-de-Seine, France

On July 21, 2009, at around 12:40 a.m., a witness observed from his home the north-south passage of four red lights in the sky. No noise was heard during the observation, which lasted about two minutes. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. The elements provided suggest a probable passage of Thai lanterns. No photos or film, but the description reporting once again red-orange lights, silent movement, low altitude, sudden extinction, and the multiplication of observations of this type of phenomenon lead to a classification of the case as probably identified.
