Red lights in Haute-Savoie, France
On Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 11:45 PM, a motorist and his son saw about forty red balls moving silently across the sky. The witness's account suggests Thai lanterns, at a usual date and time for these objects. The estimate of distance and size of the objects is, as very often, very incorrect. Following the publication of the event in the newspaper, a person reported to the gendarmerie as having released Thai lanterns into the sky over Domancy that evening, during the party held for their wedding. GEIPAN classifies this case "A" as perfectly identified: observation of Thai lanterns.
