AnomalyThe observation at 11:56 PM of orange balls forming geometric shapes, and crossing the sky in a few minutes, clearly suggests Thai lanterns, probably released nearby at the end of a private party. The movement is observed from toward the southwest, which is consistent with the northeast wind recorded at Roissy: Weather. No other testimony in the area was collected. GEIPAN classifies this case "B" probable observation of a Thai lantern.
