On the evening of June 27, 2011, two people observe the passage, in a straight line and above them, of an orange luminous phenomenon. No noise is perceived during the observation, which lasts one minute. The hypothesis of a Thai lantern is favored: red-orange appearance, shape, movement according to the wind (from the North or Northwest). The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.
