AnomalyOn January 1, 2013, between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM, a witness observes the passage from West to East of a first group of lights followed by another group following always the same trajectory. The objects move without any noise and disappear at the horizon. The witness's description (multiple points of light, in two groups), the date of the observation (holiday), the direction of the wind (light wind from the West), are entirely consistent with an observation of Thai lanterns. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": observation of Thai lanterns.
