On September 8, 2012 at 11:00 PM, two people observe the slow and silent passage of two round red luminous objects. One of the two objects takes a different direction from the first and suddenly disappears. The description of the phenomenon and the photo clearly suggest Thai lanterns: red-orange balls moving slowly for a few minutes. The movement from South to North or Northwest is not inconsistent with the very weak, unstable wind, rather from the South sector. Saturday evenings are the preferred times for lantern releases.
