A witness reports an observation made on Saturday, July 7, 2012, around 10:40 PM. He observes the silent East-West passage of several yellow-orange colored balls, all aligned and equally spaced one behind the other. The witness's description immediately suggests Thai lanterns: horizontal passage of fireballs, in groups, without noise, from East to West. In Strasbourg, the light wind was blowing from the North at 11 PM, but from the South at 8 PM; it is difficult to confirm that the wind was blowing from the East in Niedermodern, but it is possible.
