An account in Manche, France

Witnesses report their observations of May 6, 2012 between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. of the silent movement of several orange luminous points. The phenomenon seems to go out and disappears after several minutes of observation. The appearance of the lights (orange balls), their movement according to the east wind, the duration of a few minutes, and the slow and silent movement clearly suggest Thai lanterns, probably launched by some voter happy with the outcome of the presidential election. This case is classified "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
