Police witness in Vaucluse, France
The witness observes for one or two minutes an orange luminous point moving from East to North at about 45° elevation (see simulation on sky map, based on the witness's account) at a steady speed, and it disappears suddenly.
A police report will be sent to us in March 2012.
The characteristics described are compatible with those of a Thai lantern; the weather that day indicates a light, unstable wind, direction South to North at 8 PM and 10 PM (but N to S at 9 PM!) which may explain the movement in that direction, but without certainty.
Given the holiday period, a lantern release that evening is not surprising. It is this hypothesis that GEIPAN retains: this case is classified "B": probable Thai lantern.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
