AnomalyOn Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 11:05 PM, a witness observes in the sky the slow movement of a blinking colored light with a red halo. No particular noise is heard during the observation, which lasts 2 minutes. The light rises in the sky and disappears into a cloud. The witness describes a blinking light colored white, red, and yellow, moving slowly from the West, and rising in the sky until it disappears. The video shows a yellow light surrounded by red. It is noted that the wind was facing the witness (see weather report). The observation is entirely consistent with that of a Thai lantern released in the witness's line of sight, one or two kilometers away. The day and time of observation (Saturday evening) is usual for the release of this type of lantern during private parties. The perceived blinking probably corresponds to an imperfect combustion of the burner. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.
