An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Nord, France

On August 2, 2013 at 11:08 PM, a witness and his wife, driving in a car (see map), observe in the clear sky four red-orange luminous points, which end up going out one after the other. The Meteociel data indicates a slight meteorological west wind. The observation of luminous points in the sky for a few minutes on a Saturday evening clearly suggests Thai lanterns. Given the layout of the location, the objects were moving slowly away from the witnesses toward the East. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
