AnomalyOn March 15, 2013 at 7:38 PM, a witness and his son were intrigued by the silent zigzag movement of a round, gold-colored object in the sky. The witness's description (a gold ball advancing slowly) suggests a Thai lantern. The wind direction, from the South (see Meteociel data), is consistent with the start of the observation. It is noted that the witness is located north of Disneyland Paris (see map), which may be the source of the release. The zigzag path may be due to turbulence caused by the urban environment. The impression of a rapid departure upward is due to the progressive extinguishing of the burner: the decrease in brightness is interpreted as a distancing. This case is classified "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.
