On November 26, 2011 at 9:05 PM, a witness observed for five minutes the silent movement of four glowing balls. The testimony matches the characteristics of Thai lanterns: points of light in a group, moving in the direction of the wind (from the southwest), and lasting a few minutes. The time and day (Saturday evening) are fairly common for this kind of festive event. It should be noted, however, that the witness reports white lights: even white lanterns emit a rather yellow-orange light. This case is classified "B": probable Thai lanterns.
