On Saturday, December 10, 2011, around 11:45 PM, several people saw lights passing in the sky that intrigued them. The witnesses' report is fully consistent with the observation of Thai lanterns: an object flying in the direction of the wind, yellow-orange in color, with a brighter center. The time and day (near midnight, a Saturday night) are usual for this type of event. Identifying the person who released these lanterns would allow this case to be classified as "A." But without that information, GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
