Saône-et-Loire, France · 2014-03-20 · from the GEIPAN archive
On Thursday, March 20, 2014 at approximately 10:45 PM, two people observe in the sky three luminous points of orange color. These points move silently but rapidly in formation before disappearing successively. Only one testimony is collected. The observation of orange luminous objects crossing the sky in a few minutes in the direction of the light south wind (see evening weather) clearly suggests Thai lanterns. These releases most often take place on Saturday or Sunday. However, spring or carnival could have provided the occasion for a local celebration: the town hall of Clessé has not received any report of this type of event. GEIPAN classifies this case as "B": probable observation of Thai lanterns.
