An account in Ille-et-Vilaine, France

On Saturday, September 3, 2011 at around 11:15 PM or 11:30 PM, a witness and his wife noticed in the sky above the southwest horizon the silent movement of several orange glowing points of light. During the observation, which lasted about 2 minutes, several other orange glowing points of light appeared with the same flight characteristics. Of low strangeness and very good consistency thanks to a particularly detailed questionnaire, this observation case very likely corresponds to the observation of several sky lanterns in the process of going out. The witness, informed of this hypothesis, viewed photos and videos of lanterns and perfectly recognized this object. This case is classified as A: observation of sky lanterns.
