On March 9, 2013 at around 8:20 PM, a witness observes the silent, DDO-N passage of about fifteen white luminous points in the sky. They disappear, hidden by the landscape. The behavior of this series of luminous flying objects is entirely consistent with the local wind, from the Southwest to West sector, variable (See Meteociel data. Readings from nearby stations: St Jean de Vedas, Aniane give slightly different directions, but always with light wind). The white color indicated by the witness suggests luminous balloons more than Thai lanterns. Luminous balloons are balloons inflated with helium and containing a small lamp powered by a very small battery. GEIPAN did not conduct research to find the author of this release of balloons or lanterns; it is noted that the large residential area located to the Southwest of the observer must be the origin of the release. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of luminous balloons or flying lanterns.
