An orange orb in Sa�ne-et-Loire, France
On Friday, August 2, 2013, around midnight, a family in a car is intrigued by the silent and rapid movement of a bright orange ball in the clear sky. The object will disappear, hidden by the landscape.
The observation of an orange ball moving in a straight line on a weekend evening suggests a Thai lantern. At that time in Mâcon, there was a south wind of 4 to 19 km/h: weather.
The witness is surprised by the speed of the phenomenon: if a lantern actually flies at 19 km/h in a straight line, it can be difficult to follow it by car.
The case is classified "B": probable observation of a Thai lantern.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
