Red lights in Paris, France

On March 23, 2012 at 11:00 PM, a witness is intrigued by the silent movement of two red lights above the Parisian buildings. They disappear, hidden by the urban landscape. This observation case has all the characteristics of Thai lanterns: movement of red lights, silent and uniform, according to the wind (wind recorded from Northwest to North, at 6 to 15 km/h), lasting a few minutes, during a weekend or holiday evening. Releases in the middle of the city are indeed not recommended, but they actually happen quite often! GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
