On June 1, 2013 at 12:02 AM, several people observe the silent passage of about a dozen bright yellow-orange orbs that appear successively in the sky. The witness's description (very bright yellow-orange orbs moving slowly in the sky) corresponds exactly to Thai lanterns. The witness, after seeing videos and photos of Thai lanterns, recognized the phenomenon, which he had never seen before. These lanterns could have been launched during a wedding that took place 600m away. The Météociel local wind report indicates a slight West to Northwest wind, which is not consistent with the observed movement (rather toward the East). But a Northeast wind is noted in Boulogne; coastal winds are often complex, and of different directions depending on altitude. Given all these elements, GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns. The low strangeness of the case does not require a field investigation.
