On August 29, 2010, at around 4:20 a.m., several people observe the slow and silent passage of two orange luminous points in the sky. The press will report similar facts on the same day but at 9:50 p.m. The description of the phenomenon (spheres of orange-red color, moving without noise, at low altitude) matches those described in cases of observations of Thai lanterns. The manor of Sauchay frequently organizes wedding ceremonies, and the time of the observation (night from Saturday to Sunday) contributes to the high probability of a passage of lanterns.
