On January 2, 2014 at 6:30 PM, two people observe the slow silent passage of several orange lights in the sky. Only one testimony is reported. Orange balls moving slowly in the sky, in the direction of the wind (south wind 11 knots, 19 km/h recorded in Lille) on a weekend evening clearly suggests Thai lanterns (sky lanterns). See weather. The witness refutes this hypothesis.
