An orange orb in Pas-de-Calais, France

On June 12, 2010, from 11:30 PM onward, several residents of Calais observed, from different locations, about ten glowing orange and white balls in the sky. They seemed to come from the same place and moved slowly and silently along an upward trajectory before disappearing. An article from August 17, 2010, in the local newspaper mentions a witness who claimed to have seen a release of lanterns in front of the Lycée du Détroit, but no testimony was collected by the gendarmerie. These people probably observed the passage of Thai lanterns.
