On Sunday, September 6, 2009, two witnesses observed from their home the passage from west to east of several orange balls, all equidistant from one another. No noise was heard during the observation. The local press would indicate in the following days that many people had made a similar observation that night and that photos and films had been taken. A release of about a hundred Thai lanterns during the festivities of a wedding is the cause of these observations.
