Red lights in Pyrénées-Orientales, France
On May 17, 2014 (not March 17, as mistakenly stated in his testimony) a witness and his wife were intrigued by a luminous phenomenon in the sky. 5 to 6 red balls appeared coming from the northwest and moved toward the southeast. A second wave of about fifteen identical balls was observed. Their slow movement was silent. This testimony is typical of an observation of Thai lanterns: orange balls moving slowly in a straight line at low altitude, according to the wind on a weekend evening. The METEOCIEL report for Perpignan (weather data confirms the northwest wind weakening. The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": very probable observation of Thai lanterns. Given the low strangeness of this observation, the GEIPAN did not search for those who released them.
