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 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.
