An account in Seine-Maritime, France

On September 10, 2010 at around 9 p.m., a motorist is intrigued by an orange-red glowing ball that moves slowly, changes color before suddenly disappearing. The characteristics of the observation (white-yellow light of a very large star turning orange-yellow, ovoid shape appearing motionless, disappearance (extinguishing), trajectory consistent with the direction of the wind) suggest a luminous balloon of the Thai lantern type.
