AnomalyOn June 13, 2010 at one in the morning, a witness sees orange glowing balls gradually appear in the sky. The witness will count between 15 and 20 balls moving quickly and silently before going out as they rise into the air. The witness's description matches in every point the observation of a release of Thai lanterns: orange color, smooth and silent movement according to the wind (from the northeast, toward the southwest, see weather report), and disappearance after a few minutes. In addition, the time and day (at 1 a.m. on a Sunday in June) are common for this type of event. This case is classified "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
