AnomalyOn Saturday, September 15, 2012, around 11 p.m., several people observe in the sky the silent movement of several yellow-orange luminous points that gradually go out. Only one person gives testimony. The witness's description (yellow points, gradually going out while becoming a black shape, slow horizontal movement) is entirely characteristic of the observation of Thai lanterns. The coincidence with the fireworks, on a Saturday evening, is also a favorable element. The very light wind, rather from the southwest, is not incompatible with this hypothesis. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns (flying lanterns).
