Red lights in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France

On June 17, 2012 at 12:25 a.m., a couple observes the silent passage of a luminous phenomenon made up of red balls. The witnesses film what they see. This case is typical of Thai lanterns: orange or red balls moving erratically according to the local wind (southwest to northeast), launched on the night from Saturday to Sunday. The video confirms this hypothesis (the video shows white objects, probably because of the camcorder's white balance, which must have been in automatic mode). The witness, who attends a lantern launch, thinks they only move vertically, and did not accept this hypothesis. A press article from Le Républicain Lorrain dated August 30, 2012 reports that the person responsible for this lantern release came forward. The case is classified as A: observation of Thai lanterns.
