An account in Yvelines, France

In the night from Saturday to Sunday, December 2, at 12:03 AM, a couple observes from their home about ten red luminous objects following each other at regular intervals and disappearing one after another into the cloudy sky. The witness's description matches the appearance of Thai lanterns (however, the description of bluish reflections is noted, which are rare on lanterns, unless they are blue). The local wind, as recorded at Verneuil, is weak and unstable (see records) from the west, consistent with the movement of these objects. They may have been released along the Seine, at the end of a festive evening. This case is classified "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
