An orange orb in Is�re, France

On August 20, 2013 at 10:40 PM, three people observe the silent passage in the sky of an orange luminous phenomenon. The observation of an orange ball moving silently in the sky suggests a Thai lantern. The weather data from Grenoble and Lyon indicate a sustained northerly wind. This wind is consistent with the observed movement from northwest to southeast. The video is entirely consistent with this hypothesis. These lanterns are more often launched on weekends, but weekday parties in summer are not rare (Tuesday in this case). This observation, very unremarkable, is classified "B" as a probable observation of a Thai lantern.
