A witness reports their observation made on July 11, 2013 at 10:30 PM: in the sky, they follow the appearance of three bright orange points of light that move NE-SW silently, then disappear successively after a change of direction toward the West. Unfortunately, in the videos taken, the points of light are barely distinguishable. However, the witness attaches a screenshot to their questionnaire. No other testimony will be collected. This very unremarkable observation of a few bright orange points of light on similar trajectories inevitably evokes sky lanterns. On the other hand, the observed movement (NE to SW, then W) does not exactly match the N wind recorded at Dijon (50 km) or Mâcon (60 km), but rather that recorded at Paray-le-Monial (70 km) (NE wind). The change of direction can be explained by effects of local terrain, or by a slight imprecision or illusion in the witness's perception of the direction of the lights. In the absence of very local wind data, GEIPAN classifies this slightly unusual case as "C".
