Hovering in Charente-Maritime, France
On October 30, 2013, between 6:50 PM and 8:30 PM, three witnesses observe a red luminous phenomenon in the sky, which appears and then seems to hover above a nearby forest. The phenomenon disappears and reappears later, still fixed in the sky. The phenomenon eventually goes out like a halogen lamp. Two people give testimony.
The observation of orange spheres in the sky for a few minutes suggests Thai lanterns, but this case is nonetheless unusual on several points:
- It is not a Saturday evening. But it is Halloween, which could have been an occasion for a release.
- The objects seem stationary: the witness, questioned by phone, was looking toward the northwest (see map), that is, with his back to the slight southeast wind (see the weather report at Île d'Oléron) and saw an object carried by the wind drift slowly away from the witness, and it seems motionless.
- A second object appears in the same place 15 minutes later: one might think, as often in these cases, that there were several releases of lanterns, which would have followed strictly the same trajectory.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.

Has this happened to you?
Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
Nothing is tracked back to you and nothing is sent on your behalf. The link is just the page you are reading.
