The description of red dots moving slowly and silently in the sky on a weekend evening evokes Thai lanterns. The Météociel report from Blagnac indicates a slight northwest wind: since the witness sees them appear in the north, they are logically carried toward the east. The Calsky report of visible satellites indicates the passage of the ISS station shortly before 11:00 PM, on a trajectory very close to the one indicated by the witness, but the time does not fit a priori. The ISS is generally perceived as a white or yellow dot, rarely orange. Moreover, there would be no explanation for the second similar object right after. One could also think of planes taking off from Toulouse-Blagnac (landings are done from the south of Toulouse with a northwest wind): but the blinking lights would have been noticed. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
