An account in Calvados, France

On September 28, 2013 at around 9 p.m., a witness observed the passage of eight bright red objects crossing the sky from east to west on the same trajectory. The observation of several red shapes moving on the same trajectory in the same direction as the wind (from the southeast) on a Saturday evening clearly suggests a release of Thai lanterns (sky lanterns). GEIPAN classifies this case, which is not very strange, in category "B," as a probable observation of Thai lanterns.
