An account in Gironde, France

A witness observes two distinct phenomena in the Bordeaux sky on two occasions. First on the evening of August 3, 2011 from 9 p.m., then during the night of August 6 to 7, 2011 at 3:15 a.m. The second observation, which matches in every way a misidentification with Thai lanterns, will not be dealt with in this report. As for the first observation, although the movement of the UAP seems compatible with the wind (subject to correct interpretation of positions and directions), its appearance evokes nothing in particular. A hot-air balloon, however original, should have been recognizable, particularly at sunset and in the absence of clouds. Our best hypothesis remains a possible observation of a lenticular cloud, a rare phenomenon and therefore surprising by nature. But here again, the sunset should have revealed its nature, unless one considers that the horizon was blocked by clouds. Of medium strangeness, but of too little substance as it stands, this case is provisionally classified as C pending new elements.
