AnomalyOn June 2, 2013 at 12:09 AM, four people in the living room of an apartment observe the silent passage from N to SSE of 6 luminous shapes in the sky. The observation lasts at least one minute. Only one testimony is collected. The observation of luminous shapes crossing the sky in a few minutes, on a weekend night, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from North to South-Southwest, which is consistent with the North wind recorded in Lille (Météociel). GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns. The witness, informed of this hypothesis, did not accept it.
