Pyrénées-Orientales, France · 2012-07-14 · from the GEIPAN archive
On July 14, 2012 around midnight, a female driver is intrigued by the silent movement in the sky of three white lights very quickly hidden by the landscape. The witness reports this observation in 2013, as well as another observation made seven years earlier. The witness reports 2 observations on the same questionnaire. The first one, too imprecise, is not taken into account. For the second observation, the fact that it takes place on the evening of July 14 points toward 3 festive objects carried by the wind: luminous balloons or Thai lanterns. The very short duration of the observation does not allow determining the direction of movement of the objects, nor possibly correlating it with the wind (strong NW wind: tramontane). The variation of the lights suggests a lantern, but they are generally perceived as yellow or orange. This case does not present all the characteristics of Thai lanterns, but is certainly linked to 3 luminous objects carried by the wind. GEIPAN classifies the case "B": observation of luminous balloons or Thai lanterns.
