Hovering in Loiret, France

In the night of August 7, 2009, around 1 a.m., several people observe two luminous phenomena made up of two reddish spherical shapes. These move without making any noise. Only one witness out of about ten observers will give testimony. The description of the parallel trajectories of the two luminous phenomena at slow speed as if in "hovering," one of which slowly goes out, indicates a probable passage of Thai lanterns.
