AnomalyA witness reports their observation made on November 19, 2011 at 10:08 PM above their home. Several luminous points of yellow-orange color move along a straight trajectory from SE to NW. No noise is heard during the observation. The points disappeared while gaining altitude and at very high speed. The description given by the witness immediately suggests Thai lanterns. The wind direction indicated by the weather (SE->NW) is consistent with the observation. The time and the day (a Saturday evening) are also the usual indicators of lantern releases. No search was made for the possible release point (wedding, party).
