AnomalyOn August 28, 2011 at around 12:35 a.m., a motorist and his wife observed in the sky the silent movement of orange dots from north-northwest to east. The witnesses then distinguished 7 triangles that seemed equilateral and that all had a rounded shape inside one of the vertices. The observation lasted about a minute before the phenomenon disappeared by rapidly decreasing in size due east. The description of the phenomenon (number of objects, color, speed) corresponds exactly to Thai lanterns. The date and time (Saturday night into Sunday), the westerly wind direction reinforces this hypothesis.
