On May 5, 2012 at around 10 p.m. on Hattes Beach near Mana in French Guiana, a witness observed luminous phenomena that intrigued him. Several red spheres moved slowly and silently across the sky. Given the objective elements collected (red color of the objects observed and photographed, slow and simultaneous movement of the objects on an upward trajectory, no wind or very light wind, and a day of the week favorable for launching lanterns, the existence of a lantern retailer recently established in the department), we can conclude that the three objects observed and photographed by witness no. 1 are probably nothing more than sky lanterns, also called "Thai lanterns." This case is to be classified as "B," as a very probable observation of Thai lanterns.
