On August 25, 2009 at around 11 p.m., two walkers observe, just above the trees, two stationary red-orange balls. During the observation, which lasts 5 minutes, no noise is heard. A few minutes later, one of the witnesses, back at home, notes that the balls have disappeared. The characteristics of the two fixed luminous balls, red-orange in color, describe the probable observation of Thai lanterns. Another testimony published in the local press reports a similar observation in Arzon the same evening: the trajectories given in both cases, as well as the descriptions, confirm the similarity between the different observations, probably of flying lanterns.
