On Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 7:00 PM, two people are strongly intrigued by the passage over their home of round, slightly flattened, orange-colored luminous objects. The objects appear in two waves 5 minutes apart, and the observation will last 10 minutes in total. These objects move silently from the SE to the NE before disappearing at altitude. No photographs will be taken by the witnesses during their observation. The witness's account: round, flattened shape, luminous, orange, moving alone then in groups of 3, at low altitude (overcast sky), on a Saturday evening, clearly evokes Thai lanterns. The impression of large size estimated by the witness is due to the short distance of the objects. The Meteociel weather report in Lille indicates a variable wind from North-East to East, not exactly in the axis of the objects' movement: the slight relief (Mont d'Halluin, 30m above the plain) can possibly explain the deviation of the flying objects. These clues are deemed sufficient to classify this case "B": probable observation of the passage of Thai lanterns.
