An orange orb in Ille-et-Vilaine, France

On Friday, September 27, 2013, between 10:15 PM and 10:30 PM, a witness from their home observed the successive passages in the cloudy sky of an orange ball. The object always moved silently from East to West. The description of the observation has all the characteristics of Thai lanterns: orange balls following one after another on the same horizontal trajectory, according to the local wind (an established east wind of about 15 km/h according to www.meteociel.fr), on a weekend evening. The photographs, of rather poor quality, provide little information. GEIPAN classifies this slightly unusual case in category "B": observation of two successive Thai lanterns.
